No.
There are alcohol stoves and dual fuel models but if your stove is designed for naphtha only it would not be safe.

what would make it unsafe?
alcohol burns at a lower rate than white fuel and puts off no bad fumes unless you used rubbing alcohol and that wouldn't be as good.

The generator needs to be designed to the characteristics of the fuel.
They have dual fuel stoves but the ones I have seen have a small well where you burn a small amount of alcohol to pre-heat the generator.

the btu is lower for the alcohol and will not make the generator work properly. the heat output will be alot lower.

Do you own one?
It is the tube that goes from the fuel tank to the burner and passes over the right hand burner.
When you light the burner you get a poor flame until it heats the naphtha and fully vaporizes it.
There is a lever on the valve that you set to light the preheating flame and then once the fuel begins vaporizing you move it to the pointing down position to burn.

yes i own one.
I didn't know the tube was called that.
I have had the tank and tube attached to it out for filling and it just looked like to me that it went in a hole for the burner and then the gas flame got lit.
thanks.

the hole in the end is sized for the btu of the fuel, that is expected to be used. when the lever is up it is supposed to draw vapors off of the tank, when down liquid fuel is drawn in. as only fuel vapors will ignit. you can run them with the lever up but will have to pump a lot and heat will be way down.
