Yep, the Jensen 55 has a bit larger boiler than the 75, and is about an order of magnitude more machine too.
I've never gotten much soot out of denatured alcohol unless I let it burn down to where the wick is smoldering.
Grain Alcohol from the Liquor Store is my fuel of choice.
That's the best, but you can't get it in Kaliphony ..... they water it down to about 150 proof or less, then charge an arm & a leg & a few other body parts for it! Denatured is the best I can get that is "strong" enough and doesn't smell too bad, though still best for steaming (or Stirling) outside if my Lady is home.
