Does anyone think this could replace an alcohol lamp? I'm thinking of making this and filling with alcohol instead of lamp oil.

Yep! Looks like a pretty Molotov!
I found in the garden section of a big box store a small oil lamp meant to burn citronella lamp oil like for a dinner party outside. It's small square and very solid. Works perfectly as a spirit lamp for yeast culturing and stuff like that.

A 4 oz mason jar would work well too I'd think. Anything but a fragile, clumsy light bulb.

I've bought some of the cheap hurricane lanterns at Wally's and burn citronella oil in them when we camp. Since they're only about 6 bucks and work as well as they do, I see no reason to make something or look for other fuels.
