Trouble finding denatured alcohol...??

It's a very common solvent available at any paint store or home store (Home Depot, Loews, Menards, etc.).

I ALWAYS have a gallon on hand, about $9 from Menards. In addition to using around the garage as a solvent, I also use it as a charcoal lighter instead of the standard charcoal lighter fluid (kerosene).

It is waay cheaper, and doesn't taint the flavor of the food, but you do have to stand back when lighting it (or get used to walking around with no eyebrows).

Try a paint store, they should have it.

Not common...? What does the Gov't fear you Canucks are going to try and drink the stuff...??

Cheers!
