Methylated Spirit 250ml

A camping and household staple

Methylated spirit is a completely denatured alcohol that has served as a reliable stove fuel and cleaning solvent for generations. This 250ml bottle is a handy size to keep in a cook kit or at home. It is dyed and denatured so it is not for drinking, but that same formulation makes it a clean-burning, versatile liquid.

Fuel for spirit stoves

Its most common outdoor use is as fuel for alcohol burners and camping stoves, including Trangia and similar spirit stove systems, as well as fondue burners. It burns cleanly, which is part of why spirit stoves remain popular for simple, quiet cooking.

Also a capable cleaner

Away from the stove, methylated spirit works as a smear-free cleaner for glass and hard surfaces, and as a solvent for removing sticker adhesive and marker pen ink. That makes a bottle useful well beyond the campsite.

Handle with care

This is a highly flammable liquid. Store it in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and naked flames, keep it away from children, and only refill a burner when it is cool and unlit.
