What type of fuel do I use with this?

isopropyl alcohol you can buy at just about any hardware store for cheap burns super clean. works amazing i have used it a dozen times already and hiking in camping.

95% Ethanol (denatured) is best. You can get it at paint stores and Home Depot etc. 90% isopropyl is ok but smells like doctor's office. Don't use kerosene, Coleman fuel, or gas of any kind. It's hazardous.

You can use any kind of charcoal you want. I use the cheapest stuff they sell with lighter fluid because the fumes never touch the meat.

I use regular nitro fuel from the local hobby shop top fuel plus, but it is 20% so I would say yes!

I use the 15%. As far as I know there is only two kinds of fuel for RC planes, 10% and 15% nitro

Hi Edward, we recommend 20% nitro fuel.You can find it here:POWER MASTER ~ FOUR Quarts of 20% Nitro Fuel ~ Premium Model Engine Fuel

You can use Heat gas treament or air break anti- freeze, these are two items I use in mind now. There are other fuel sources out there go on Utube and look.

I use Coleman 16.4 oz Propane fuel. But at Chicagland Speedway last year for a NSCAR race WE saw one catch on fire, the green paint bubbled off, the smoke was black, and smelled horrible. If I would have not yelled at the guy using the grill there would have been major problems. He had this grill on a waist high table the flames were so high they almost started his canopy on fire. It would have if we didn't spot it in time.

I refuse to use this fuel. I have a 2wd Traxxas Slash and I'm willing to spend 4-5 bucks more a gallon and buy the Traxxas fuel. My second choice would be odonell speed blend. When you switch fuels most of the time you have to make carb adjustments.

You use just regular gas, don't forget to fill it with oil before starting. And don't overfill the oil, its worse than under filled. Use 30 wt oil, any brand!

This guy (and others like it) use a fuel called IsoPro Fuel. You can get it at just about any sporting store (REI, Dicks, Bass Pro, etc) very cheap. The smaller canisters (~$4.50) usually last me a weekend trip and the larger sizes (~$6.50) of fuel can last up to a week depending on how much you're heating things up.

Use regular unleaded fuel 87 octane,do not mix oil with gas.Oil goes separate in the crankcase, oil type 5W30.

I've used msr cans from sport authority and the mixed fuel from Colman cans at Walmart. Just make sure it's mixed and not strait propane.

This is simply pure gasoline with added stabilizers and with 2 cycle oil and WITHOUT any alcohol. Presently there are no suppliers that sell a product that is not appropriate for your equipment. If you don't wish to use this expensive fuel the next best thing is use only pure gasoline and not gasohol fuel. Pure gasoline can still be purchased at marinas and some auto stations. Given time some discounter will see an opportunity in bottling garbage pump gas and I would therefore stick with name brand fuels.

I don't know that the mixture (fuel/air) would be correct. Propane is cheaper... depending on where you are.

You can use any type of butane that comes in a canister with a universal refueling tip, as for my personal preference I like "Ronson Ultra Butane" it seems to be a more pure form of butane that burns better. It really all is up to your personal preference.

Since the bottom has slats in it you can use other things such as small sticks, vasoline soaked cotton balls or a small metal cap with denatured alcohol in it. I must admit though the esbit fuel is cheap, environmentally safe and easy to carry. Unless I was using sticks I wouldn't really want an alternative fuel. To answer your question, yes you can get creative and use other fuels.
