are there dangers of long term alcohol stove use?

I’m not even sure 195 exists, actually. 190 is what everyone who buys Everclear for alcohol stove use buys (that was a grammatically horrendous sentence…).

Okay, thanks – I guess I missed your joke! Given all the talk of state-to-state legality, I genuinely thought some 195 proof sold only in Kentucky and Montana was a possibility. I’ll go but some 190 this week in Seattle, and report back.

I bought the smallest size of this to try out when I have a chance.  Even shipped it to California.

The x-f-b stuff, consumable.  Not the denatured stuff

Wow, that’s expensive.

Well, what am I gonna do with my money? Leave it to my kids?!

Either way burns through it, lol.

send some to me?

Yes: making more stoves!

I should have named the thread “dangers of watching water boil” next thread will be “dangers of packing in excess everclear”

Some have been known to have a titanium flask filled with their flavored “everclear” at their side while watching an alcohol stove boil water. 

Dan your moto aught to be. Live slow, boil fast

X-F-B, wow! That’s interesting.

And heck, I don’t drink in the backcountry but I could dual-purpose this making perfume with wildcrafted plants if I have leftover fuel!

When I was in the service stationed in France. We were able to get 200 proof from the Army hospital in Orleans, France. Nice to have friends in the right places.;) The 200 proof is way too harsh to drink straight and so we used grape juice to tone it down to make it drinkable. If I had some today I could probably boil 2 cups with 1/4 ounce.
