Hey hey again! Any ideas where a guy could get an alcohol lamp around town? I'm tired of using that dirty old shot glass and lighter combo...Otherwise I'll scour the web. Anything to look for when buying or are they pretty standard? Thanky Dankys!

Beat me to it 
I had bought one online and misplaced it, then realized how incredibly simple it is to make one. You probably already have a bunch of mason jars. Any size should work, but a half pint or smaller would be ideal. I used a wide-mouth shouldered 1/2 pint. Poke a hole in the lid, run a strand of terry towel, sock, or old t-shirt through it, put a little denatured alcohol in (make sure the cloth is soaked before you light it) and you're good to go. Invert another jar on top to extinguish the flame.

That is what I was going to suggest Kizzle--the old glass jar with a wick method. Works great, and dirt cheap.
