No
Meths (a.k.a methanol or methyl alcohol) can be used for fire poi. Ethanol is more common than methanol, and alcohols in general are commonly used in fire dancing with other chemicals to produce colored flames. Read the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to using methanol (or any fuel). Inhaling vapors prior to and after combustion of fuels can be hazardous to your health. Fire Mecca's Safety page is a good source for some MSDSs, include one for methanol.
I do know one of the elements extracted is boron, although I think there may be 2 more
No, it is not recommended to use wood alcohol (methanol) in a fire pit due to safety concerns. Methanol burns with a nearly invisible flame and produces a lot of smoke and soot, which can be harmful when inhaled. It's best to stick to using traditional fire pit fuels like wood or propane for safety reasons.
The flames in a fire burn according to chemical principles, and sometimes the material burned is or has in it a substance that burns with a green flame. There are a number of metal salts that burn with a green flame, and copper may be the most common among them. Think about fireworks. They are burning materials, and the color of the light given off is determined by the materials burned in the particular charge. Who would know more about what color things burn in than the chemist who is responsible for making up the stuff that goes into fireworks? There are packages of "fireplace additives" that are put on wood to give more color to the flames. The same ideas are involved.
Liquids that can make fire when ignited include gasoline, alcohol, and lighter fluid. These substances are highly flammable and should be handled and stored with caution.
A handful of Borax washing soda will turn flames green. A log soaked in a solution of borax and dried for a few days will burn green, nice at Christmas time.
It's actually not borax, but boric acid. Borax is a type of soap. The mixing of boric acid and "Heet" which is a type of anti-freeze, produces a chemical reaction when lite on fire. I don't know the EXACT reason why.

Heating methanol in a microwave can cause it to vaporize and potentially ignite, leading to a fire or explosion hazard. It is not safe to heat flammable liquids like methanol in a microwave as it can result in serious safety issues.
Green colors in fire are typically produced by the presence of copper, such as in copper compounds or household cleaner with borax. Violet colors are often produced by the presence of potassium salts, like in certain fireworks and flares.
trade from fire red or leaf green
Borax is commonly used as a cleaning agent, laundry booster, and pesticide. It is also used in the manufacturing of glass, ceramics, and pottery. Additionally, borax can be used to make slime and as a fire retardant.
you can't get it without trading, you have to trade from fire red or leaf green.
cant only in leaf green or fire red
no you cant
Trading with someone who has one, or transfering from Leaf Green /Fire Red.
you cant get one without gameshark or trading from leaf-green or fire-red
