Instead of using Heet you can get S-L-X denatured Alcohol at any paint store or paint isle of any hardware store. It burns hotter and is made for stoves. They just sell it in paint stores for clean-up and stripper. It is a fraction of the cost of gas station Heet. Especially if you get it by the gallon.

Also, a scientifically minded buddy of mine mentioned that HEET gives off some crazy gases similar to formaldyhide (sp?).  Anyways,  thought I would mention S-L-X, I noticed faster burn times. 

I actually went back to a canister stove.  I got tired of freeze dried food and started packing full meals to cook up.  Alchy stoves aren't the greatest for simmering and frying.  Now I have steak fajitas and breakfast boritos.
