Alcohol stove intake and exhaust calculator.

I see reference to an intake and exhaust calculator relating to wood fires. Is there such an animal for alcohol stoves.
Regards to all

The only intake and exhaust for wood fires that I have seen had to do with smoker designs. More like an oven than an open burner that has access to plenty of air.

I have not seen such a calculator. I suppose one could be made for certain size stoves using a wick design such as the StarLyte. My motto has always been: Never deny your stove oxygen. ;) Use a windscreen to control rate of burn just like the flue damper of a wood burner. Constrict the flow.
