How miscible are these two? You'd have to keep them mixed if you intend to use an open alcohol flame. If you want a pressurized burner, it would probably be a little messy unless you get 100% combustion. I don't know how many of you are familiar with the "primus" type alcohol burner. That could be adapted to our little beasties, or even a primus type kerosene burner -- that really gets HOT, and would be cheap to run. Keep your steam up! Walt & Lunk
