Fondue help....quick!

We were planning on making fondue in my new fondue pot tonight but stupidly forgot to buy the fuel for it. It says to use methylated spirit, which we don't have, but we do have white spirit. Does anyone know if we can use this alternatively??
Thanks

Pretty sure you can! I googled and found this:

Thanks! I got that too and we tried the white spirit, but it wouldn't even light...oh well.... we will eat it over the stove if we need too. 

NOOOOOOOO, white spirit is the same as paint thinner, I just wouldn't do it. Try just using a bowl in a pot of water( like a double boiler ) not the same but at least you know you won't get ill.
side note... I've been looking for fuel for our fondue pot and haven't had much luck, if you find some could you let me know where?

try a tea candle.
thats what I used to use before they came out wth those  nice fuel packs.

I was actually about to call you and see if you had any.  Have you checked the cook shop in town?

We did it on the stove and used tea-lights under it. Worked great.
Thanks for the suggestions!

tried the cookshop and Cargo(they were selling fondue pots) no luck. That was about a year ago. I should look again, kinda forgot about fondue, do you have some good recipes? my son loves to fondue

I found some fuel gel packs in a specialty kitchen shop in Stamford.  It was luck.  Last year i couldn't find any anywhere and we ended up doing it over the stove.

You can order it on-line as well.  I just forgot to in time this year.
