I don't know about Sterno, but I happened across a similar product this
afternoon, Woods Cooking Gel.

It is a fuel, primarily used with buffet pans and chafing dishes, made from
jelled alcohol and comes in a small can. You remove the top and light the
jell and slide the container under the buffet pan to keep the contents warm.
Sometimes, informally, referred to as "canned heat".

One of the best songs ever, imo:
"On the Road Again" by "Canned Heat"

Remember that? Listen again and be sure to turn up the volume. :-D

Sterno, as you now know, is gelled alcohol. What you probably don't know is that folks used to squeeze the liquid out of the gel and drink it for the alcohol. Sterno junkies. Beats the hell out of me why they did this. Why the heck would they buy Sterno instead of wine? How cheap was Sterno? The stuff was toxic as it contained methanol. Evidently, to junkies, what don't kill you can make you high and therefore has some value.

My niece's ex was addicted to breathing aerosols. He wouldn't show up and they'd have to go looking for him in store parking lots. He'd be in his car with the windows up and he'd be passed out. They found him dead one day. He was lucky to have survived for so long but that time he went over to the other side and there was nothing anybody could have done about it.

Too true. I went to high school with a boy who died from this. He'd
spray cooking spray (PAM) in a plastic bag and breathe the fumes. It
didn't take long to kill him. I still remember his name: Herbert Hancock.

You can get Sterno in a dry county.

In 1999 I moved to Temperance, Michigan, right after the expiration of
a 100-year-old law prohibiting the sale of alcohol for drinking purposes.

You don't have to twist my arm too hard to have a drink, but there is no
way I am going to consume that stuff, or many other products that
contain alcohol but are not meant to be consumed by humans, like hand
sanitizer and cleaning products.

By coincidence, our town was once known as Temperanceville and it was
dry until the 1980s. We got a liquor store that also sold beer, but you
had to take the empty beer cans and bottles back to the John Deere
dealership.

Some people seem to pride themselves in getting as drunk or as high as
possible. I used to know a guy who loved to drink a lot of beer and
smoke a lot of dope. I used to think his goal in life was to die while
partying. I had a neighbour who I was friends with in high school but
he and I parted ways when he got into hard drugs. I heard that he died
of an overdose about 15 years ago. No one seems to know or care much
about it.

I've never heard about it being banned due to Temperance.

I have a can of gelled sterno in the pantry:

https://s27.postimg.org/b2icl444j/sterno1.jpg

https://s17.postimg.org/uwj36ge4v/sterno2.jpg

Liquid sterno is pretty much like putting lighter fluid into cotton
wadding. Dangerous as hell. You can hope it doesn't catch the table
cloth on fire.

Gelled sterno is much more stable.

And yes, I still have a fondue pot. I was thinking maybe I'd use it
again this New Years Eve. Haven't done that since 1995.

Maybe this year I'll make cheese fondue. A blast from the past.
Want to put the fire out on the Sterno? Close the lid on the Sterno can.

I once set my fondue pot on a glass "cutting board" and used liquid
sterno in the little cotton filled thing that came with it. It leaked
and set the glass cutting board on fire! Fire extinquisher! Do not use
liquid Sterno.

We always use denatured alcohol from the hardware store. Never
had any trouble with it.

Denatured alcohol is pretty much the same thing as liquid sterno.

I'm happy with the canned gelled form. Not that I use it much anymore.
But, as I said, might make some cheese fondue!

I get a reminder on my calendar when his birthday comes up. He's still one of my friends on Facebook. I don't have the heart to unfriend him. That's the modern world for you.

My college music teacher is long gone but his website is still around and selling his books. That's OK, in this way we can continue to live long after we pass. The person reading my post now is likely to imagine me still around but I'll be long dead.

I get a reminder on my calendar when his birthday comes up. He's still one
of my friends on Facebook. I don't have the heart to unfriend him. That's
the modern world for you.

My college music teacher is long gone but his website is still around and
selling his books. That's OK, in this way we can continue to live long after
we pass. The person reading my post now is likely to imagine me still around
but I'll be long dead.

It is good to keep memories that you can enjoy.

Not that it matters but I had graduated by 1981. This happened when I
was still in school, mid-70's. This was one of those things we heard
through the grapevine. Parents try to keep things like this from their
kids but kids have a way of finding things out.
