>>647589>20% less energy per gramIf you were NASA preparing for a mars mission or some ultralight fag worrying about shaving .023 grams from your pack, then maybe this is something to think about but in real world usage you'll never even notice it. What you WILL notice though is that denatured alcohol is more than 2X the price of HEET (25 cents per ounce vs. 11 cents per ounce). Another concern is that denatured usually comes in a big heavy clunky ass metal can whereas HEET has a small lightweight plastic bottle. With denatured, you're forced to find a smaller lightweight container to carry it in plus all the hassle of having to transfer the fuel into it. Depending on the length of my trip I just carry one or two bottles of HEET in my pack (usually one) then chunk them into the campfire as they are emptied.
