I'm a noob looking to purchase a titanium alcohol stove. I'm unsure which alcohol fuel to use. I'm based in Australia. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Which one looks more drinkable to local abbo populations in case of theft? The clear one is easy to mistake for water or even vodka, but the purple safety dyed one looks like grape drink flavour.

Thank you>>2719444>>2719445
i would say denatured alcohol, with just a cap of water to keep the soot down
I've always used the good old purple Meths. In every kind of alcohol stove, be it a Ti one, Trangia or ones I've made.I'm from the uk. I get a 5L bottle of ebay for about £20, I then load a 500ml trangia fuel bottle as needed. In local hardware shops a 500ml bottle costs about £5.One thing I'd add. NEVER use white sprit or as its called in some places mineral spirit. It doesn't but hot and just covers everything in lots and lots of soot.
>>2719444what would happen if i drank this stuff? maybe a shot diluted with a bunch of orange juice or something
>>2719867Just buy Everclear if legal and availale. You can drink it and it burns well without much soot.
Don't you have fireplace fuel over there? It should be like 99% ethanol contaminated with bitrex so that hobos can't drink it.
>>2719479>with just a cap of water to keep the soot downI've never heard this trick, how does it keep the soot down? By keeping it below a certain temperature or just thinning it out a bit?
>>2719891Yes, I found this in my city. Thank you.https://www.melbournesolvents.com.au/products/bio-ethanol?variant=39937650229422I ended up getting the Trangia instead of a titanium one.
