If you fill the canisters in place, tiny amounts of spillage will ignite, heat the canister, boil out the remaining alcohol and make a BIG fire. Ask me how I know this... ALWAYS fill the canisters outdoors. My main complaint was that the alcohol evaporated if you didn't put an additional seal over the canisters. I used a piece of inner tube rubber placed between the stove top and the canister.
