As it is beginning to get a little bit chilly I find myself lighting the fire quite often.
I've never really been a traditionalist with fire lighting I prefer to add some sort of accelerant to help it along.
Recently there was an empty spray kitchen cleaner bottle aboard the vessel. So I put some cherry in it from the oil heater tank.
The good thing is that the diesel is atomised by the spray mechanism so it burns well.
The bad thing is that the proximity of the pump lever to fingers causes some hand hair scorching.
It's great to get extra heat into the firebox !
Does anyone else have any useful accelerants to help with the fire lighting chore?
