Danny, I use Origo fuel from West Merine. Tried others. Found it works best. You could try Coleman.
Stay away from any alcohol that doesn't claim to be a stove fuel first. That is, if it says "can also be used as a stove fuel", don't use it. Good stove fuels are a blend of different alcohols, isopropyl, etc. they are not simply denatured ethyl or methyl alcohol. Dennis C.
