Thanks bud.

nope, best is HEET, the reason being is that HEET is pure methanol, while denatured can range from 2% methanol to 80% methanol

denatured can also have a number of toxic chemicals mixed in

HEET is just methanol....

It is not the cans them selves that is the prob.

It is the BPA that lines the cans inside after a few good burns you should be ok with using but I would always burn out cans like pop cans before cooking in it but hay that's just me you can do it how ever you like lol

I have utilized aluminum cooking utensils for years. I think someone told me that it could cause alzheimers - but I can't remember for sure. What were we talking about ????????

actually an excess buildup of aluminum in the brain is being seen now not as the cause of Alzheimer's disease, but as a side effect of Alzheimer's.

More and more people are useing aluminum cans to cook food and boil water in and I was wondering if that's wise since cooking with aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's. Anyone have any thought's on this? Thanks!
