In addition to warming a house, a fire can be a lifesaver while camping, especially during the colder months of the year. Unfortunately, not everyone has a wood burning fireplace and sometimes weather conditions can make starting a wood fire outdoors near impossible. Thankfully there is always an alternative, such as Real Flame Gel Fuel. Real Flame’s gel fuel is a fire in a can that is made up of gelled isopropyl alcohol and is perfect for use both indoors and outdoors. Best of all, the gelled isopropyl alcohol burns clean, making it environmentally friendly.
