I prefer a bunsen burner myself, but each to their own. It really shouldn't be that hard to come up with the $25 minimum order. They stock all kinds of items useful to the hobby. Petri dishes, inoculating loops, various glass containers, filters, syringes, etc..

OMG this thread is ancient.

FF, some of us like to tinker, and besides, there's nothing particularly dangerous about this alcohol lamp rig. I've been making them since I was 10.

And yeah, some people can barely afford a spore syringe without resorting to Ramen Noodles for a week. Several of these people have PMed me a thanks in the years since I wrote this. :shrug:

No.

Use cotton. Especially DO NOT use polyfill or any other synthetic fiber because it will melt.

Real cotton is cheap and you can get it at every drug store in the world.

Here's a simple pointer on those baby food jars to avoid the alcohol from getting wicked up onto the lid:

Whats the advantages of an alcohol lamp vs. a lighter? Does it not leave that black residue on the needle like a lighter does?

Exactly. The alcohol burns clean. It still darkens the metal with the heat, but you don't get the soot you do with a regular lighter.

fine you win I'll break down and make one!!! I will point out though that soot from candle (my normal method) heat has never posed contam problems. However, if this doesn't result in a marked increase in the speed that my syringe nettle heats up in expect a angered reply.

sorry saladfingers must have my spellchecker under his control or it's that I started drinking at 4 this afternoon.

Anyway I'm wondering if 99.1% isopropal alcohol would substitute for denutured alcohol or where you could find denatured alcohol. Someone must know about this.

I just did a search, and it says you can indeed burn isopropyl in an alcohol-lamp, but whatever amount of water in it brings the temp of the flame down.. So if you are gonna use isopropyl, def don't use the 70% -  use the purest kind you can get.

dually noted from the both of yall. But fooman if you don't know me enough by now you might know how much I hate using bigbox stores, you mentioned almost every one of them. I'll have to have a Buddhist priest bless this thread now to undo your bad voodoo. That means I'll have to use my account at mycotopia, that I swear I only opened to view all of the BNL thread.
