The 2.6oz can of Sterno® Green burn for up to 45 mins each. A great use for them would to be firestarter. Take a small glob of Sterno and put your kindling on top and light with flint and steel, a match or lighter. Being made of denatured alcohol the sterno will easily catch alight. This saves you time and energy it would have other wise taken trying to make a fire. The can is resealable lasting up to 2 yrs if the lid is properly closed.
