It came out well. I should load some color film into one of my folders this fall.

You wouldn't be in Virginia, would you? That looks like one of those grills the State Park Service sets up here and the river looks like the James.

lovely majestic scenery....and the dancing flames too..good to see the old Weltur getting a run
that bottle ? is somekind of lighter fluid yes? i see it used for BBQ's on the American movies often..we dont get that here for that use, we have whats commonly called 'firelighters' which are little white chalky bricks that smell of kerosene and placed amongst those 'heat beads' as they are called here for the barby-they burn slowly for 10 or so minutes to set the heat beads alight

Your "beads" must be our briquettes. The starter that you see in the above photo is naphtha. It the most common technique used by charcoal users here in the States.
I use the perforated canister method which resembles an old 2 lb coffee can with many large air holes. The charcoal is stacked on some kindling inside the can and the can is removed once the coals turn grey. It does a pretty good job of getting the briquettes going - without the flambeau effect and the fumes.

huh ,how about that, interesting to hear the differnt ways we all have.
now that i think of it there may be a brand here that calls them briquettes as well. the little white firelighters we have that are placed amongst the briquettes disolve after some minutes and the smell is gone, the heat beads are alight by then--perhaps an oppotunity for you to market them over there and make a fortune
, it seems an easier method to the can and charcoal method

Nice to know that's naptha. Would you know, by any chance, if it's clean enough to use for shutters? It's got to be cheaper than buying that much Ronsonol.

We have those, but the ones we have are bigger (about the size of a brick, cut in half lengthwise) and they are used for starting wood fires, like in a fireplace or a wood stove.
