Is there a substitute for kerosine to use in a smoke pot when fitting things up. Kerosine is getting expensive and hard to find. Home Depot sells it for $43 for 2 1/2 gallon containers. A pint would last me for years.

Amen on Molotov cocktail. I set my shoes on fire. Seems Brownells, once again, has the answer.

What?
Kerosene should sell for a few cents more than off road diesel per gallon.
It's expensive to be sure, but even at today's prices it's just a tad above $4/gallon.

Find a local petroleum distributor in your area that sells propane and bulk fuels and you should be able to purchase kerosene in any quantity that you need at current market cost. Locally small quantities are running $4.30 per gallon.

In the rural south, every independent gas station and small grocery store used to have sitting out front a square metal tank with a hand pump for kerosene. I remember back in the 50s and 60s numerous house fires caused by kerosene wick heaters during cold weather and the fire chief's public service announcements about the dangers of kerosene wick heaters. The last time I saw an old dedicated kerosene tank was between Boston, Ga, and Monticello, FL. It was sitting in front of an old one pump gas station; the type of gas station that now exists only in the corners of an old fart's mind.

I bought a quart of kerosene in the local Wal-Mart in the camping section. They sell it in a blue bottle along with all the other camping fuels. I would think any local sporting goods store that covers camping will have kerosene. I don't remember what I paid, but it was not $43/gallon.
