    James in So Fla makes some excellent safety points about using
    alcohol-based flux.  I'd suggest using a jar/container that is wider
    than it is tall.  It will be much harder to knock over!! 

    If the container does catch on fire, smother it by replacing the
    lid. (We old fogies remember when fondue was first popular, the
    heating device was alcohol in a little lidded pan... the flame was
    adjusted and smothered by placement of the lid.)  The problem comes
    when we are startled and act hastily!! 

    Judy in Kansas, where the tornado alert sirens are being tested.  Is
    it that time of year already??
