Yep - you got to snuff it out by putting an empty pot over the stove. Water just flushes the fuel out and about - still burning as it flows.

I'm careful to use mine outside. Anyone make the mistake of of using one indoors? What were the consequences? It's too bad they denature the alcohol! There no way I'm going to spend the extra money for Everclear for stove fuel.
