Did you miss Merrylanders recommendation? 3M 77 & 99 are good alternatives.

Don't they come in rattle cans with the associated problems?

Beats me JJ. Haven't the propellant formulations changed considerably? I know that over the years 3M 77 has changed in terms of usability. You have to shake the can a heckuva lot more otherwise you end up with a can full of glue with no propellant. The same with rattle cans of spraypaint.
Maybe 3M has better lobbyists.

Slightly complicated ain't it. Just because some fanatical environmentalists think VOCs released through consumer products have a terrible environmental impact—environmentalists tend to gravitate towards employment in the regulatory agencies—they ought be outlawed. There is little wonder why businesses leave California for more friendly states. Lighter fluid has become so diluted that it's difficult to start a barbecue.
Oh, I can still buy it , but only 1 ounce at a time. Thus, instead of 12.00/qt. it will be 160.00/qt.

Who uses BBQ lighter fluid anymore? I've had one of those chimney things for decades, they work so much better with a couple sheets of newspaper.

Paint thinner $10.00 a gal, Naptha $10.00 a gal. Naptha like Ronsons lighter fluid.
In California we need to shop eBay, hurting brick and mortor but we need what we need.

No problems here with CFLs that use a fraction of the power with much more light and last longer than hot wire bubz.
