Can you use Heet in an alcohol stove?
You can use Isopropanol, for example red HEET (Iso-HEET), but it is not really suitable as a stove fuel because it’s generally a sooty mess when it burns. Highest heat content, but dirty burning, and definitely toxic. Not recommended unless you have a specialized stove specifically designed for it.
What kind of alcohol do you use on an alcohol stove?
Denatured alcohol
Denatured alcohol is often recommended by manufacturers of alcohol stoves. It can be purchased online or in hardware stores in the paint section.

Is Heet safe to burn indoors?
WARNING: Methanol (Yellow Heet & in most Denatured Alcohols) is considered a poison. Fumes from incomplete burning are somewhat toxic and skin contact can cause internal problems. I practice indoors often with Klean-Strip Green – – – 90% Ethanol with some Methanol and Keytones.
