This video demonstrates how to make Sterno gel fuel at home using common household ingredients. The process involves reacting calcium carbonate (found in chalk, eggshells, or antacids) with acetic acid (vinegar) to create calcium acetate. This solution is then heated to evaporate excess water, and alcohol is added to form a colloidal gel.

The video compares Sterno fuel to a cheaper alternative called Blaze, available at Costco. The speaker highlights the cost savings of Blaze, but also points out potential drawbacks like a less secure lid and lack of a heat indicator. They suggest transferring Blaze fuel into a Sterno can for better sealing and safety.
