Wow! You people are tough. You don’t let me get away with anything.
A couple of videos back I did a video called “eBay Alcohol Stove 2 – Boil Test” where I tested my second “soda can” stove purchased from eBay, but instead of using the fuel combination the seller suggested I used denatured alcohol. Well, I had a bunch of viewers call me out on that telling me that I should have run the test using the seller’s fuel suggestion.
So in this video I correct that by running the test again this time using the 2 parts HEET and 1 part isopropyl alcohol (91%) suggested by the seller. I think this combination was just so the flames could be seen in the daylight rather than to be a better heating compound.
I want to thank the viewers that strived to keep me honest.
