Demystify: 

Thanks all!�

I missed the October 2018 incident.

I have only ever done this demo with conc sulfuric and sugar.� Looks like someone created this variation with solvent to omit the conc sulfuric and it is causing problems. Duh....

The version here uses solid camp stove fuel - not liquid fuel.

...and here we have switched to lighter fluid with no safety (except Peter's comment today!� Thanks Peter).
