[pct-l] alcohol fuel

HEET should be fine to use.  I've never heard anything about not using
HEET.  I have heard that you should avoid using Iso-HEET so maybe that's
what you're thinking of.

 should use "denatured alcohol" as fuel, but other than going to a
 hardware store, how do I find it along the trail.  I had thought "Heet"-
 gasline antifreeze was what people used, but now I hear its not good idea
 to use Heet.   One of the reason I thought of using a alcohol stove was
 that gas line antifreeze is usually available at any gas stations and in
 small quantities- ie I don't have to buy a whole can.

 Since I'm not a chemist, Brand names would be most helpful. anyone have a
 top Ten or Top Five list?
