One night in high school we had some Everclear left over and somebody poured it out on the road (back country hardtop) and we stood around watching it burn for a while. When we drove off, it was still burning. Did you ever make PJ (Purple Jesus) with it? That's how I met my first girlfriend. Everclear even made it into a Jerry Jeff Walker song.

Might have been feeding off the black top. They used to use alcohol candles to warm petroleum lamps for artic explorations cause oil needs to be warm to combust.

I have an alcohol stove for camping. I mainly use it as a hard warmer in cold weather till I get the big fire going.

Purple Jesus

I used to mix it with Fruitopia, had the odd effect of totally neutralizing the taste of ridiculously high abv drinks. Not sure they make that anymore. But it's very similar except not carbonated.

Everclear is also a pretty cool Texas band.
