just went to three stores in a row looking for stove fuel for my Trangia Mini, which I haven't tried since I bought it in August. It's a little alcohol burning stove.
At Bevmo I found they do not stock 190 proof Everclear because it's banned by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. I resigned myself to using poisonous denatured alcohol (ethanol with a percentage of methanol in it) and being careful.
At Home Depot I found they do not stock denatured alcohol because it's banned by the California Air Review Board as a volatile organic compound. At this point I started to get pissed off.
Finally, I found HEET at O'Reilly. It's 100% methanol. I'm going to burn it in my stove. I'm getting tired of this state
I am out in the rain with my trangia
