Its pretty close, charcoal lighting fluid is usually called heavy naphtha. Its slower than gas but faster than kero. You can use mineral spirits, naphtha (or even gasoline if you want), just cut it with clear kero or diesel to slow it down. You have to play around with your mix to get rid of the "poof" and have a nice easy start and burn. Just read the MSDS sheets for what you are mixing with so you have a good guess to start with.

How much charcoal lighting fluid do you go through in a year? Its expensive but you wont save a much if you just watch for it to go on sale and stock up.

Just throwing it out there, I mixed my own starting fluid when I had a manual lighting pellet stove and that was worth the messing around but for grilling, I dont think it would be worth the effort.
