Not a bad choice. I have a fire in the stove most days in late fall, winter and early spring. Diesel is relatively cheap though Biden’s not helping. Rubbing alcohol works as well.
I’d use diesel or kerosene, but I don’t have any need for either one apart from campfire starting, so charcoal lighter fluid suffices for the convenience, and I don’t use enough to worry about the difference in cost per ounce (or gallon...)
