Don't use old "white" stove fuel either. I thought it would be a great idea to dispose of it, but it wound up blowing half my hillside up, and scattered my pile of brush everywhere. Those fumes can creep like nobody's business! Yes, I was standing in the middle of it when I lit it. Best bass note EVER. I managed to be OK apart from being rather startled. I was clothed well so I was protected.
