I just read A Fire Story and it is not at all a warning about the use of denatured alcohol vs other cooking fuels
"Ive also considered the type of stove I was using and whether using my old MSR would
have kept this from happening. I dont 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.
