swiss mess set and the solo stove

[Mortblanc]

Carrying a bottle of wood alcohol for the stove is no different that carrying a bottle of grain alcohol for consumption.

I do not think flammability is even considered when deciding which type alcohol one would prefer in the backpack for drinking purposes.

I have trekked many a mile carrying wood alcohol for my stove in a small metal bottle placed inside a zip lock bag and have not been burned to a crisp or blown up as yet.

I also fill my Coleman Expedition stove with fuel before leaving the house and carry it in the bottom of the pack with no adverse affects. It holds enough fuel to boil 9 liters of water for reconstitution of a weekend of meals.

Of course I do not smoke and try to keep my gear out of the campfire and away from the flames as much as possible.
