"Methyl Hydrate IS METHANOL. I use it all the time and it works perfect. Methyl Hydrate is just another name. I have used it for 2 years now." "Synonyms: methanol, carbinol, colonial spirit, columbian spirit, methylol, methyl hydrate, wood alcohol, wood naphtha, wood spirit, methyl hydroxide, pyroxylic spirit RCRA waste number U154 Molecular formula: C H4 O" "I found methyl hydrate at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart only has it in 4L jugs. Wal-mart and TSC stores call it methyl hydrate or (stove fuel)." (In Canada.)
