You can see in my posts about my PBC that I was reluctant to use lighter fluid. However I couldn't find my chimney and bought some Kingsford brand fluid. Waited to cook until all gray, also. No lighter fluid taste at all. Eureka!
Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth I used lighter fluid a lot and usually bought the cheapest brand. Frequently got the petroleum flavored results, too. That's why I bought the chimney I've misplaced. Long story short I like the Kingsford fluid. It doesn't smell too bad to start with, burns cleanly, and doesn't go FFFFFVVVVVOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM BANG when I put a match to it.
