In haste;
here is the link to the German shop which sells all kinds of traditional lamps, stoves and wotnot.
The alcohol stove (1 or two burners) is shown here:
Each burner only puts out 1kW, but for small work and simmering it must be good, and thanks to its oxygen-rich blue flame, I beet it is more economical in use - and produces probably much less soot, as well.
That looks very similar to the Maxie burner at a sensible price. Again, one would need to put rails around it to keep the pots in place, but its a genuine alternative.
The alcohol burner I bough (from India) was of the little dish type. I liked that it has a screw-on tight lid, which lets one shut it down after use and use the remaining alcohol later. The idea was to see if I could later find a way to feed this little thing from a tank below (via one of those dose pumps).

PS: That German stove above, appears to come with a brass tank, now.
PPS: I checked the Enders 2017 catalogue. It appears that it is all gas, now, no alcohol or kerosene stoves.
Aaaargh! Not again. I'd have expected alcohol to be getting more popular. Just shows how many people genuinely give a toss about the fate of their grandchildren!
