The methanol in denatured alcohol sold under the Klean-Strip S-L-X name "Thins shellac, cleans glass and metal. Clean-burning fuel for marine stoves."
The MSDS says it is 45-50% Ethyl alcohol, 40-50% Methanol, and 0-5% Methyl isobutyl ketone.
Backpackers use it:
"Zen and the Art of the Alcohol Stove"
The CDC reports NIOSH and OSHA exposure limits for methanol of 400 ppm, ethanol of 1,000 ppm and isopropanol of 200 ppm.
Sterno has apparently moved away from denatured alcohol for their fuel products to a "Green" series,which is ethanol-based.
