I ran the numbers and yes, it’s warm enough to provide noticeable heat in your house and yes, you could cook over it for some reason, but come on. Why this is dumbīecause it is an OPEN CONTAINER of FLAMING LIQUID that you put on your coffee table and then hold marshmallows over. Alcohol stoves are not popular in the camping world because they burn so dirty that they require frequent cleaning and turn your pots disgusting, as opposed to butane or propane, which don’t. It produces a yellow, sooty flame that will get black smudges on your ceiling, your marshmallows, and your Flikr.Ĭan you cook with it?
