Alcohol As Cooking Fuel
Alcohol stoves became popular on boats as an alternative to dangerous kerosene stoves. Although denatured alcohol is more expensive than other fuels, and puts out less heat, it is often preferred as a marine stove for safety reasons. Alcohol stoves have also become popular as camp stoves because alcohol is environmentally friendly to burn.
A beverage-can stove is an example of a very lightweight alcohol stove for camping.

Famous quotes containing the words alcohol, cooking and/or fuel:
“[T]ea, that uniquely English meal, that unnecessary collation at which no stimulants—neither alcohol nor meat—are served, that comforting repast of which to partake is as good as second childhood.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“If cooking becomes an art form rather than a means of providing a reasonable diet, then something is clearly wrong.”
—Tom Jaine (b. 1943)
“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
