This stainless, corrosion-resistant alcohol burner (aka "spirit lamp") features an easy-to-replace cotton wick with adjustable flame. Each burner comes with a stainless base and polished chromed snuffer cap for putting out the flame.

Burners use 90% ethanol and contain a 95 ml fuel reservoir. The burner is fueled by alcohol which can be found in most local hardware stores. (Note: DO NOT use drug store rubbing alcohol.)

We recommend lighting the flame with a butane torch lighter or safety lighter instead of matches to prevent accidental burns.

Cautions & considerations
  • Ethanol poses a dangerous fire risk if used incorrectly.
  • Only use 90% ethanol as burner fuel. The use of other substitutes could result in serious injury.
  • Do not light the burner if any ethanol leaks.
  • Wear goggles, gloves, and a chemical-resistant apron when handling ethanol. 
  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling ethanol.
  • Only use the burner in a well-ventilated area.
  • Use a butane torch or safety lighter to prevent accidental burns.
