He he, BTDTGTTS! When I was a lad. I'd previously used parafin to
start fires and knew that petrol wasn't a "good idea" so only put
about a table spoon on the paper and twigs, made sure the can was
well away and sealed. The struck match and threw it at the fire, the
whole thing lifted 6" off the ground with a decided WHUMPF! Got the
fire going mind and taught me to respect petrol. B-)

I do have a small quantity of paraffin which I admit to using on
occasions when I don't have two boy scouts to rub together.
