An alcohol stove is a simple system for cooking on a boat, requiring no lines or complicated hook-ups. It is a good alternative to LPG when not pressurized.
Marine alcohol stoves have fuel cannisters filled with an absorbent material to prevent spillage, an important safety feature if cooking whilst sailing.
There are four common types of stove alcohol: methanol, ethanol, denatured alcohol, and isopropanol. They're found in hardware stores (sometimes), marine, RV and camping stores.
For an alcohol stove to burn cleanly, you need the fuel to be at 90% purity(180 proof), or better. All the stove manufacturer means is that the water content of the fuel should be as low as conveniently possible (below 10%).
Once produced by the destructive distillation of wood. Methanol is now mainly produced industrially by hydrogenation of carbon monoxide. It is often added to denatured alcohol to render it undrinkable.
