The Super Stove can handle most everything in 1/2oz increments or less. I've burned everything and anything in open wick stoves.realityguy wrote:I'm assuming if it was a hotter product with a mixture of the two..someone would have already patented it as "Ultra Fuel"..That's almost as dangerous as using gasoline in aluminum stoves!..don't ya think?
Let me know what happens when you get your first meltdown!...

Nope..sounds like you haven't burned the "mix"...I've burned everything and anything in open wick stoves.
I tried denatured in it and it burns slow in 20 degree temperatures. Warmer temp might make it burn faster once it warms up a little. I tested mine on top of my cast iron table saw, everything was cooooold.brooklynkayak wrote:Has anyone tried alcohol in the white gas modified stove?
I suspect it works, but take longer to boil.
Would it be less efficient than the standard alcohol version when using alcohol?
I'm thinking of modifying mine because of the extra BTU's per ounce that white gas has, but I'd like to be able to fall back to alcohol when necessary.

White gas sure does work well in it as far as fuel per 2 cup boil.
On the right is Heet (yellow Bottle) in the bottom part of a Venom Bottle (comparable to a bud bottle) on the left is Heet (yellow Bottle again) with about 1/2 t of table salt added in the bottom half of a coke can.stevebo wrote:I havnt tried it, but I read somewhere that if you ad a bit of salt to to your fuel, it makes the flames visable. Its worth a try! I love the stove, great design!
