Abstract
A gelled alcohol charcoal lighter that burns with an audible crackling noise to give a distinct indication that the fuel is burning although flames may be colorless and not apparent to the eye. The gelled composition contains a major proportion of at least one lower alcohol, a gelling agent and a minor proportion of rigid, organic capsules containing a volatile solvent which emit a popping sound as each capsule ruptures from the heat of the flame.
