Introduction of solid fuel for hot pot

Solid fuels are mainly solid wax and alcohol paste. Alcohol paste is a petrochemical fuel. It is made by mixing water, calcium acetate, phenol indicator, and a little sodium hydroxide, and adding alcohol. A piece of solid wax is as big as a matchbox , can burn for 5 to 10 minutes, the firepower is not high, enough to boil about 500cc of water. The appearance of alcohol paste is similar to that of toothpaste. The fuel is a purple-blue translucent object similar to jelly. Since it is made of methanol, it is soluble in water. It will be poisoned by methanol after consumption. Do not place it near food! The burning time depends on the dose, which is similar to solid wax and has a relatively high firepower.
