That's pretty sweet, looks like it works very well. But the only problem I see with it, is in a survival situation, you probably won't have rubbing alcohol. Though you don't have to make it just in a survival situation.

I wonder what else could be used to heat it up besides alcohol, that you might have if you get lost in the woods or something?

For boy scouts, I made a coffee tin stove once. I think what I did was take a long strip of cardboard, and roll it up to fit inside of either a small tuna fish type can, or half a pop can, and soak the cardboard in wax. Then put some holes around the edge (much like you did), and put it inside a coffee tin. Then, to let air get into the coffee tin, poke a few holes in the middle of the coffee tin. It burned for about 40 minutes, I made some hot chocolate on it. Mmmm..
