I use a grill top as well for wood; however, I use an Esbit stove or a Vargo Decagon most of the time. The Esbit is my favorite. It fits in my mug with the wind screen and the fuel tabs. I don't have to worry about carrying alcohol (denatured, that is) or finding dry natural fuel.
I made this one a couple of years ago. It works great but I do lightweight backpacking and this thing is a little too bulky.

I used to do DIY stoves as I needed them , and trash them when they got too grotty
the can upside down version gave a platform to sit smaller pots in , for the fry pan and bigger pots , I turned the tin other way up ...
now I have an emberlit , its kinda more socially acceptable and has refined all the stuff i was trying to get happening with my tin can versions to the point that I dont butcher up tin cans any more , I be civilised and carry a ready made one
( I dont own shares in and am not affiliated with emberlit , they just do a good stove I like is all )

I didn't either until I started looking around. I looked also at the Volcano, Bushbuddy, Vargo and several others before I found the Emberlit. I did play with alcohol stoves a few years ago, but was never that impressed with the BTU output, much less the need to carry liquid fuel. My mainstay was/is a Coleman Micromax gas stove before the Emberlit came along. As I tend to canoe now rather than walk with a pack, I'll be taking both along.

that grill top looks like a great E&E stove. I wonder if they make something in the space-saver nalgene size.
I use a Primus Express Lander. As far as bang for the buck, I like it better than the rest of the lightwieght high performance stoves, and it's very user friendly and well constucted. Came with all the bells and whistles. Rarely does it come on typical backpacking/bushcrafting trips though, usually just on winter trips for making water in emergency situations or cooking if the snow level is above the available dead wood-this winter that hasn't been a problem.

If I am doing woodburning I have 2 methods.
First if I'm not in a hurry too much I just build a little fire and don't even bother with a stove.
If it's colder or windier or I'm in a hurry I use the Sierra Zip Stove since the wood catches quicker and you can get water boiling faster

I've used an Esbit mini stove and JetBoil for quite a while, but I just pulled the trigger on an "Emberlit" (Ti version) thanks to this thread. Can't wait to try it out.

I don't think you will regret it. Even though I've not been camping much this winter, I have used mine countless times to cook out back on the patio. Spring canoe trips are just around the corner and it will get a good work out. For firing it up at home, if you don't have access to good twigs (it doesn't take much), pick up a bag of hickory smoker wood from WalMart. Again, it doesn't take much per cooking session. One bag will last quite a while.
