Remove the cardboard tube from a roll of toilet tissue and stuff it into a 1# coffee can. Fill with rubbing alcohol. It will provide a colorless flame that I've warmed hands, drinks and sausages over. When finished, blow out flame, allow rim to cool and replace plastic lid. Refuel when necessary. If "wick" becomes charred, scrape it off to expose new paper. Batteries not included nor required; your mileage may differ.

MP: Pretend it's "Everclear".
smoky: Pryor had at least two problems: a butane lighter exploded and he wouldn't pull his head out of his "crack".

For those of us old enough to remember; didn't Richard Pryor try this with mixed results?
