but can it be control to cook/ warm up a meal ? and/or heat a small shelter

@bigdaveoncampus for example by saturating the diethyl ether with some anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Since this form of MgSO4 is hygroscopic, it will form a solid hydrate (MgSO4(H2O)x) with the water in the diethyl ether solution which can then be removed by filtration.

-
@MrKingJay99 Haha! Lol Greek fire

how do you drive the water off from the diethyl ether?
