        sterno is easy and cheap, but it. open it, light it, when done, put the lid back on

            No offense, but I sure hope yo uknow what you are doing. There are two evil things that can happen if you really want to use this for camping.

            1. It might not work. Then you are out in the woods with no way to cook your food...which sucks.

            2. Might work too well. What I mean by this is it could get out of control and you could burn yourself or someone around you (or start a forest fire). Being burnt and having to walk miles to get help would suck.

                Its gelled denatured ethyl alcohol.

                Thats why some bums drink it. It'd get you drunk, but then kill you. Or at least make you blind.

                  And by golly, if you can't go blind or die from it it isn't worth that bum's time.

                        I don't. This is how we made it. I don't know if this is what you are looking for but here goes. Get a lot of styrofoam (is that how u spell it) and some gas. Pour gas on styrofoam and it will turn into a gel. Mix it togethor real good. You don't need a lot of gas. Then light on fire. It will burn for hours. Once it goes out. Scrape off top layer and light again. it will burn for another couple of hours.

                            Yes but that is not all the ingred for true napalm, napalm takes 3 things mixed together.
                            No I will not tell you what the 3rd is here. maybe a PM
