    You can get denatured alcohol from a hardware store, probably in the paint/stain area. Or use the engine additive HEET in a yellow bottle.

    likely not as it would be consumed by the flames as the fuel burned off. You might be able to find replacement tiki torch wicks if you're having a hard time finding fiberglass stove gasket?

    Pretty cool stuff. Another useful item to keep in mind when it comes to bushcraft. I'd prefer to use the jetboil or a wood fire but this would make a quick and inexpensive stove if I decided to camp out unprepared. I've seen that type of can in just about every store and gas station, and most also sell denatured alcohol.
