Fire Extinguisher

Just in case, I'm going to get one. I can see you need an ABC type for ethanol, never used one. What size do I need for a small 22L boiler setup? 1kg, 5kg...?

Ability to cut the fuel source from a distance is the first preference. Blanket would be my first attack method. Despite the mess potential, probably a CO2 powder would be next.

edit: Right right, size of extinguisher. 9 is big. 1 is small..... anything can help in an emergency. If you've got no reason not to, a small one near the still and a larger one at the entry point to the room its in.

Thank you. Will opt for a fire blanket (already in the kitchen) and a 5kg extinguisher.
