coyotemaster member Registered: 03/07/06 Posts: 294 Loc: Arizona	Quote: using petroleum based stuff like that in an alky stove can be kinda dangerous. Thanks for the warning Phat. I've wondered about adding just a dash of white gas, or gasoline in ethyl alcohol to bump-it-up just a little. Especially for winter. Has anyone experimented with a mix?
