That'll be interesting.  The primary measurement is how fast you can boil 16oz or 32oz of water.  If you had to start the fire from scratch you'd be WAY behind the others.

I'd like to be able to measure and compare the amount of fuel each took but with different fuels it seems pretty sketchy.

The Sierra Stove (listed above) doesn't either.  ;)

What about solar ovens, I think those are a viable survival item and merit some attention.

I never made the penny stove.  It's still on my list and I even have the cans but I haven't got the time.
