Default Propane vs Alcohol

Okay, I know what Propane is, C3H8
and I know what Methanol is, CH3OH

What's Alcohol?

Also, alcohol doesn't have the BTU's of propane.


Propane weighs 4 lb/gal alcohol 5,8lb/gal. BTU/lb are something like
18k for propane v. 12 k for alcohol. 9,5k for methanol. My car burns
that, but I don't have an alcohol stove. I do have a one burner primus
stove that burns kerosene.
