I was watching one of Dave Canterbury's Youtube clips the other day and he was advocating the use of chaffing fuel because it has more heat energy than ethanol/methanol and is safer. That statement sounded fishy so I googled it.

Apparently, chaffing fuel if made of diethylene glycol has almost triple the heat energy of methanol (2155 kJ/mol vs. 726kJ/mol). Has anybody seen this product? (Magic Heat) It is NOT Sterno, which is jellied ethanol/methanol, but it does use a wick and is in a similar container.

Your opinions?
