Health Canada advises against fueling firepots using rubbing alcohol. It can lead to serious fire and burn risks from flame jetting.
When fueling firepots:
- never pour fuel over an open flame
- only use fuel in a container with a flame arrestor (a flame arrestor looks like a screen built into the container opening)
- choose a non-refillable gel fuel canister for firepots as a safer alternative
