Soot? no soot.. methanol burns clean, and you're not going to have anything toxic coming off it any more than any other sort of liquid fueled stove. (may I remind you that white gas, gasoline, kerosene, and yes, even ethanol are also toxic and will kill you if you drink them, or drink enough of them wink )

*I* don't worry about this - and my stove lives in my pot.

I wouldn't get *liquid* methanol into my food. (wouldn't mix it with white gas either.)
