I'm doing the GR20 (15 days backpacking) in June '09, the only fuel available in Corsica is methylated spirits. Does this stove burn methylated spirits?

This'll burn essentially anything. I'm pretty sure you could get gasoline and kerosene in Corsica as well, which it'll burn better, but methylated spirits should do fine. The only risk is that alcohol flames are nearly invisible, so if you're cooking in the day you won't be able to see them. You should probably test it before you go just in case, but if there's any stove that will run on it, this is it.EDIT: This stove burns gasoline perfectly, I used it up in the German Alps and walked by a gas station before hand, it cost about 1 euro to fill the canester up and you're good to go.
