My go to fire starter is an air/acetylene torch. Well, yesterday , both my small tanks were empty. So I tried this 91% alcohol I buy at Sam's. Set the stick burner up as usual, soaked a handful ot TP with about an ounce of this stuff. Don't know what the BTU content is, but burns seriously HOT. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/08/full-33124-305511-20210808_161906.jpg)
If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

I use no accelerants on a cooking fire.
But if ya gotta, that's a good choice. Burns clean, burns off.

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

On my offset smoker i'll get it started with a small hand held propane torch then hit it with the cordless leaf blower. My wife bought the kids some inflatable super ball last summer and it came with a handheld battery powered squirrel cage blower. I use that thing all the time on my coals when the wind isn't cooperating.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Use a heat gun or a looft lighter -- no accelerants to ruin your food's / pit's taste.

Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

One of those electric starter things for $20. Only as dirty as the fuel you burn.
