Good idea to keep different liquids in VERY different looking containers. Read of long distance sailors taking all the can labels OFF their stuff and writing down the contents with Magic Marker on the bare can. Easy enough to mistake anything for anything else in a dark,rocking boat when you have just been up for 24 hours. Thanks for the reminder. I used an alcohol stove for a while and found that the flame can be hard to see and it will not go out being doused with water.

Hahaha I know it's a paint thinner, it was just in the same type of container and it was getting dark. I'll dump it and let it evap a while. Then alchohol amd see. It's a round dislike metal container with a large circular wick. Sits under stove

Stove not ruined, unless there's some parts in it that would be damaged or dissolved by the mineral spirits.
Pour it out into a safe container as Bob says, then let the stove sit outside opened up (whatever that looks like for your stove) and let whatever you can't pour out fully evaporate. Then give it some alcohol and test that it's OK.
cheers, John S.

Dump it in a container. Mineral Spirits is paint thinner.....not for an alcohol stove.

I accidentally filled my stove with the mineral spirits instead of the alchohol... advise please. Can I just burn it off? Is it ruined?
