These sorts of things are neat. There are some very nice commercially available compact alcohol stoves also out there.

This poster hasn’t yet used one, wondering exactly what type of alcohol is used for one of these? Is isopropyl rubbing alcohol an option? What percentage is needed to make it work? Will the 50% alcohol solutions work? 70%

Or is some other form needed?

Probably basic questions, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t know that.

Thanks in advance.

I am using 70% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

Seems to work fine.
