Another cautionary note besides whether the Fire Marshall approves is what “flame test” are you attempting- there has been much discussion on this List regarding
the Rainbow demonstration involving methanol and open flames- not a recommended practice.

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] propane camping burners
I work in a charter high school and we are in a temporary school building with out any gas connection in the lab.
I would like to know is it ok to use propane camping burners for labs involving flames.(flame test).Any legal issues??
I had used small portable burners in the past ,but it is running out quick. Any help appreciated.
