I have heard good things about these designs

These home made alcohol stoves are quite popular with backpackers who aim to travel light. There are regular threads on the topic on TLB

I've been using a Swedish Tragia cookset for a number of years - this one that comes with two pots plus windscreen and stand. The burner itself is a little brass cup, about three inches across. It is hard to beat the simplicity of this type of stove.

Alcohol burners also come in a size large enough to heat water for a whole dog team, and burn a couple of bottles of HEET per use. Fairbanks mushing supply shops carry these.
