lighter fluid substitute?

[Weaverspitbbq]

we all know lighter fluid is the devil for charcoal. has anyone ever warmed up bacon grease and used it instead? how about adding it to charcoal when adding unlit charcoal to your fire? seems to me it would work

Propane torch ..or. plumbers torch....

This Thread's Title reminds me of something we did in Vietnam, that maybe somebody could explain to me why it worked:
When it says "Lighter Fluid Substitute" it reminded me of the following:
Everybody in Vietnam carried a "Zippo" lighter, because they never failed.
Sometimes you'd run out of "Zippo Lighter Fluid", so in an emergency, we learned that we were able to fill our Zippos with "Mogas". Mogas was the fuel used in Army Jeeps in those days. I don't know if it was watered down or what, that made it work in a Zippo lighter without the whole lighter going up in flames, but it worked. I wouldn't want to try it with the Gasoline used here in the Good Old USA.
