Well truth be known I was using both. I put the charcoal
lighter fluid on the coals, came in and got my trusty
Zippo to light it with. Realizing it was empty, I filled
it an then took it out to light my charcoal. I had
spilled just enough for it to light on both the side of
the lighter and what was left of it on my hands. Thing
is
when your brain goes in park, you better watch it. It
wasn't much, but it didn't take much either LOL.
The point was the stuff really lights off easy and burns
hot so just watch what you use it around with your brain
in any gear but park LOL

lighter fluid ... charcoal grill.
I don't know what is in bar-b-que charcoal lighter.
Coleman lamp fuel appears to be mostly naphtha but may
have
other stuff in it. Naphtha is related to gasoline and
should
be handled accordingly. Do NOT use it in a Kerosine
lantern!

Richard you have me curious now. The charcoal lighter
fluid bottle didn't say what kind of petroleum it used in
it. Its no where near Coleman fuel. We used to refer to
it as white gas, which I believe is what largely is. May
have some other additives, but IIRC from my youth its been
purified to get a lot of the impurities out of it that
would clog up the lantern and other camping equipment
parts. Though there were a few makes that said you could
use auto gas in them, when I did they always seemed to
cause problems.
There are good reasons they call them Kerosene lanterns.
Even I haven't tried that lol.
