I'm sort of a tightwad, so I use the Folgers brand of fluid.
To the left is some well seasoned orange tree wood that I'm getting ready to throw some chicken at. I'm going with a Yucatan-style achiote marinade.. thinking tacos or something.

well I'm not sure... I've never owned the standard type, but occasionally I'll pick it up with some pliers and blow in the holes to remind it that I want action. She responds accordingly.
I use this special made stand for mine... I have since modified it and cut the solid plate off and put expanded metal on it... now I just stick my MAP torch up threw the expanded metal and it's lit in about 2 minutes... no mess with ashes from paper

I like that idea a lot - Mind if I borrow it?I use this special made stand for mine... I have since modified it and cut the solid plate off and put expanded metal on it... now I just stick my MAP torch up threw the expanded metal and it's lit in about 2 minutes... no mess with ashes from paper
nope.. have at it.. it's 1/2" rod and then I welded a 2"x 2" piece of 1/4" flat bar in the middle of a 12"x 12" expanded metal.. that's to give you something to weld the rod to and sturdy up the expanded metal as well... If you need a close up picture I can get one, but it will be a while

I use the Weber chimney and a soda can alcohol burner with isopropyl alcohol in it. I put charcoal in the chimney and alcohol in the stove, light the alcohol with a propane torch and set the chimney over it.
Cheap. Effective. Always works. If I'm out of propane torch lighters, a country strike-anywhere stick match works just as well.

Used to be able to get Diamond strike anywhere matches around here but I haven't been able to find them for several years...
