    Is that a concrete block you are heating with it?

    And what about smoke/fumes - those flames look quite yellow suggesting quite a smokey flame?

        Arr.

        Safe to use indoors, the camera made the flames yellow, you can hardly see them in the light :)

        B&Q sell burners starting at about £120, so I just bought the fuel and made my own :)

It is the principal type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, produced by the fermentation of sugars by yeasts. It is aneurotoxic[6][7]psychoactive drug and one of the oldestrecreational drugs used by humans. It can cause alcohol intoxication when consumed in sufficient quantity. Ethanol is used as a solvent, an antiseptic, a fuel and the active fluid in modern (post-mercury) thermometers. It is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with the structural formula CH
                  3CH
                  2OH, often abbreviated asC

                      £6 for 2 litres, although it's cheaper if you buy more.
