[at-l] STP stove fuel

[Gary Ticknor]

I know that HEET is methyl alcohol and I have used it in stoves. Not 
sure about STP Their web site is iffy - says the red container is made 
from jet fuel (might still be methanol, or even kerosene, not avgas). 
The yellow sounds like methanol. But see:

Doesn't sound like something I would want to cook over :(
