Cowgirl borrowed a Big Green Egg, or something like that, to use in a competition.. She never used lighter fluid to fire up her charcoal... Yet the judges could taste it... Come to find out, the owner of the Egg used lighter fluid to light his coals...
So, I don't know if Match Light taste will linger but it's something to be aware of.... I don't know how to eradicate any petroleum flavors left over... Maybe the Weber won't absorb that horrid flavor... That would be a good thing....
