Can't find my charcoal lighter fluid. Use paint thinner instead?

Use fuel grade(coleman) naptha if you have it. If it's VM&P naptha, don't.

paint thinner is acetone i think. similar to nail polish remover. i wouldn't use it.

Cool, it probably is, thanks. Actually, I also have a gallon of coleman stove fuel, although it's not Coleman brand.

No, there's a world of difference between paint thinner and acetone. Acetone is a whole lot more volatile for one thing. It also smells much different.

Well, that has to go for the stuff they sell expressly for the purpose. Would you drink that?

This link makes it plain that the stuff they sell to start briquets is bad for the environment and bad for your guests: Kick Off Season With Healthier Barbeques

BTW, the Charcoal Chimney Starter mentioned above appears to be a good idea (see link above).

BBQ is good for the soul :music:

A cookstove, right? If it is, go ahead with that, nothing in there that will hurt you to cook over.

Yeah, I have one of those old style two-burner Coleman stoves. Pump it up, cook. Love 'em.
