I have a light weight alcahol stove and I was wondering where to get alcahol/whitegas. Is coleman camp fuel the same as alcahol?
NO!! Never put gasoline in an alcohol stove. Coleman fuel is the same as white gas. Get HEET (gas line antifreeze) in the yellow bottle, NOT the red bottle. The red is a different type of alcohol. Or for larger quantities (therefore cheaper for the same amount) get denatured alcohol at a hardware or paint store, or a builder's supply such as Menards. S-L-X comes in quarts and gallons and is as good as you can get.
you guys crack me up with your stoves. I love it!!

The majority of alcohol stove users burn denatured alcohol that can be purchased in most hardware and paint stores. Home Depot usually carries it if you have one in your area for $13 and some change per gallon.
