My experience is that 95.6% is the most what you can obtain commercially
(or from any kind of distillation). You can get further only with molecular
sieves or by removing the remaining water using benzene or some other
substances.
The best (for drinking, if you are so inclined) is this one:
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/sakemitsui/item/vod-0007/ (btw. the web page
says incorrectly 96 degrees, it is 96%). In Canada, you can
get it in Quebec as Global Alcool, but it is “only” 94%.
However, I would not use it in a stove, as it would not be overly cost
effective. It has great applications for mixing drinks, though.

Here is an article on
ethanol versus methanol as a fuel. This article concludes that ethanol is
the more efficient fuel.
http://vincent02pd2011.wikispaces.com/Methanol+Vs+Ethanol+Fuel+Lab
and this article says
that ethanol produces a higher flame temperature.
http://classroom.synonym.com/burns-hotter-ethanol-methanol-7848.html
Ethanol is
hygroscopic and will absorb up to 5% moisture from the atmosphere. It is
difficult to obtain and store 100% pure ethanol.
Many chemicals can be
used to “denature” ethanol, like methanol, acetone, benzene, isobutyl ketone
and
most of these chemicals will make the denatured ethanol poisonous , bad
tasting,
bad smelling or nauseating in order to discourage human
consumption

stove
Steve,
try other marine
stores. In Ottawa , The Chandlery, sells Capt. Phab 4l for
$21.50 (or $20 US)
(http://www.thechandleryonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=3331).
I think they would ship it, unless there is some funny restriction. They ship
to
the US , as well.
Marine Outfitters
out of Kingston
carry it, too.
Btw. this is what I
use in my stove and it burns extremely clean.

Alcohol stove
I
found it hard to source denatured alcohol here in Toronto . I found it at this
place finally:
http://www.sculpturesupply.com/index.php
I
paid something less than $25 for a 4 litre jug. Much better deal than the stuff
they sell at west marine.

Denatured alcohol is
all I've ever used in the stove on the 38 or the Origo stove on the 25. About
once a year I go to Lowes and buy a gallon
can.
And one of these
days I'll finally get around to installing the new propane stove I bought for
the 38 a couple of years ago. I'm told it is easier to find propane than
denatured alcohol when you are in the Bahamas or the Caribbean .

This my first go-around with alcohol stoves. Seems to work very nicely.
Cleaned it up filled it and brewed a big pot of coffee in no time. Is there
any reason not to use plain old denatured alcohol instead of stove cooking
fuel?
