I just use Denatured Alcohol and don't find it to smell any too bad at all, but then only use it well ventilated. I'd use Everclear if it were reasonably priced and I could get it at full strength, but out here on the Left coast, you can only get it up to 151 proof I think, and even that has to be smuggled in from Nevada. Price wise it is vastly more expensive also. I guess that is one advantage to living in the Corn Belt!

Meanwhile, here in Kaliphony, I even have to get my DN smuggled in, so I guess there is some satisfaction in burning that anyway .... ;c)

I should add that the brand DN that I try to get smuggled in for me is specifically formulated as Marine Stove Fuel, as is stated on the label. I used to use a fair amount in some of my backpacking stoves as well, and don't I wish that I still could now!!!
