#FONDUE METHYLATED SPIRITS MANUAL#

I am advised by my friend outside Lidl that their 37c Tinto with a splash of desnaturalizado and a few slices of fruit makes an acceptable Pimms. Bartoline Methylated Spirit is traditionally used as a fuel for alcohol burners, fondues and camping stoves. They all burn but I would be inclined to stick to desnaturalizado for a fondue burner or smoker - better the devil you know etc. I have two bottles, one is pure methanol and the other is isopropyl alcohol and I am sure there are other formulations or mixtures available. For a start there is no specific formulation. For cheese, meat or seafood fondues, you need a fuel which burns to a higher temperature than can be achieved using tealights.

Please read instructions for use in manual - 6 serving forks. It still has the methanol and it is still poisonous.Īlcohol de Quemar is very different. You need 50ml of methylated spirits to use this fondue set. In Spain the pyridine will be left out - there is not much call for it from the winos in Spain - they prefer Lidls 37c wine. Both are likely used as a denaturant, and at first glance shouldn’t affect shellac solubility and may be marginally safer than methanol.

Isopropanol is commonly found in rubbing alcohol. This 'denaturing' is to make it undrinkable (unless you are really desperate) and for customs duty reasons. Both isobutyl alcohol and butanol are otherwise known as Isobutanol or 2-Methyl-1-propanol, and is a synthesized alcohol. This is normally ethyl alcohol (the stuff you can drink) deliberately spiked with methyl alcohol (methanol), which is poisonous and also, in the UK with pyridine, which stinks, and a blue colouring. The closest thing to 'Meths' as used in the UK is alcohol desnaturalizado. Rafiki wrote: AAMOI what is the difference between the two types?
