Howdy, Just wondering how long one of these things would last, because usually cans burn in fire. Does it burn when in a controlled flame. Great vid thanks

@schulzy8

Hey man, These last a LONG time, alcohol does not burn hot enough in this scenario to burn the stove. The flames are going up and there is little heat anywhere that could get burned.

Good question!
