Clean burning fuels in your camping stove

[fatpies]

I have one of those red bottle stoves that apparently run on anything.

I tried it with petrol (smokey and got lots of crud in it), white spirit (needs a long prime).

Parrafin works but needs a lot of priming and makes the bottom of my pans go black and leaves a greasy residue if you spill it and needs regular pricks of the burner thingie.

However coleman fuel burns VERY clean.. £8 for 500ml

But it costs a bomb,

Apparently panel wipe is just coleman fuel (pure naptha) which costs £10-15 for 5 litres, but there are loads of different versions of it.

There is also Aspen 4T which burns very clean but is £17.95 for 5 litres (might as well just use panel wipe at those costs)

I've also had suggested metholated spirits (is this just white spirit?)

Tetrosol paint stripper £8 for 5 litres

What else do you use which is cost effective which burns cleaner than petrol but doesn't cost as much as coleman fuel?

You get a nice clean burn from alcohol hand gel
