[pct-l] Denatured alcohol...

[Jack Coughlin]

I just read A Fire Story and it is not at all a warning about the use of denatured alcohol vs other cooking fuels
   
  "I’ve also considered the type of stove I was using and whether using my old MSR would 
  have kept this from happening. I don’t believe it would have. What I know now is that I could 
  not have been careful enough"
   
  I agree the story is a great heads up to be extra careful in this dry year but it does not 
  mean go back to the white gas.  Have you ever seen a white gas stove burn out of control?
  It's pretty scary.  There's also a lot of burn marks in shelter floors on the AT and many of
  those burns happened long before the Pepsi can stove came along.
