Default RE: Substitute for Ether

Ugo,

I'm getting ready to try some charcoal lighter fluid in place of regular kerosene in my fuel. I looked over several MSDS and there seems to be a lot of variation in what chemicals are used. Is there any particular makeup that would be more suitable? According to the Aussie newsletter posted in this thread somewhere, some chemistries are much better suited than others. It's more expensive than kerosene, so I hope there is a benefit to the lighter fluid.

This is what I have to try this weekend if there is time.

Looking back, I would not recommend anyone start their BBQ with crude oil. There certainly are components that would not have enough time or heat to evaporate and burn.
