Can I use other brand lighter fluid rather than Zippo lighter fluid? I would like to buy this lighter for my brother in Vietnam, but I am not sure if this lighter will work without Zippo lighter fluid. Please let me know if you have the answer. Thank for your time!

Zippo recommends that you only use Zippo fluid. I have an extensive collection of Zippos and have used Ronsonol and a few other brands, and the lighters don't perform as well and other fluids evaporate quicker.

I do not know anything about lighters; I am buying one for a gift but by now I hope you found out that if the chemicals catch on fire and you have a flame to do whatever you needed to, that's all that matters. Chemicals don't care what box they are in. Just check the labels or in the case of Amazon, check details of the contents. If you are still conserned then you could always test it in another lighter or that particular one before sending it.

Using Zippo brand butane it is quite the powerful flame. It comes out at a faster rate than off your stove. Really I usually use a regular Bic lighter. This was more of a novelty gift to myself.

According to the label on the can, it works for all butane lighters. I have only used Zippo lighters so I can't tell you more than that. The can has a pointy nozzle which gets placed into the fill hole on the lighter. Then you press down on the can (can is upside down) and the butane fills the lighter. I hope this has been helpful.

I've only had experience with the lighter bottle. You should go to a mall or something and test them out. It's the only way you are going to know for sure. Sorry I couldn't help man.

You need to use butane Fluid not zippo fluid it's not a zippo lighter. Simple fix :)

There is a good explanation on how to season the smoker by Slap Yo Daddy BBQ in the reviews. When I start charcoal I fill my chimney and put some newspaper underneath and light it. Then I pour the lit coals on top of unlit coals this is called the Minion Method (google it) ...I never use lighter fluid !! You can taste it in the meat. There is a wealth of information on the Internet on how use this grill for cooking all types of meats. Just do a little research and Enjoy !

I am not sure about using a charcoal fluid, but I use the same fuel as a zippo lighter for it. After having this product for a while and using it relatively often for a while I have notice that it doesn't light very easily. Just FYI.

Yes, you use the matchlight kind that you don't put lighter fluid on. I have even bought the store brand with good results. I LOVE this smoker, and have given away my Brinkmann! It is so easy to use, I will never go back to the water pan, soaking the wood, watching the temp., etc...

I use ronsonol or zippo fluid. I would worry BBQ fluid wouldn't burn as clean and leave a residue behind and gum up your lighter.

If you lighter uses liquid fluid as combustible that can be poured for refilling, YES you can refill it with this. If your lighter uses gases like propane or butane, then you cannot use it. Those lighters need to be refilled into a chamber through a valve that keeps the gas under pressure. This Zippo lighter fluid has to be POURED to a compartment that has a plush that absorbs and keep it.

It uses liquid lighter fluid it is recommended to use zippo brand liquid lighter fluid but you can use Ronson lighter fluid to

It's designed to use standard, cigarette-lighter fluid. For a few dollars you can get a small container of "proper" lighter fluid which will likely last you a lifetime. If you use anything besides cigarette-lighter fluid then you're on your own. I would not recommend experimenting with other flammable fluids.

Im not really sure any the question but the type of butane I use is ronson multi-fill , it works really good and you can buy it at your local gas station but if this is your first time refilling a lighter make sure the flame setting is on low wile filling it if not the flame will always be small, hope this helps
