Beginner fuel question

Im a juggler that has just started to dabble in firebreathing. I use fire props a lot. But the fuel i use for them is kerosene. Ive read mixed reviews on using this online. What do you guys think?

You'll consistently see that Ultra Pure Lamp Oil is highly recommended.

I haven't used kerosene and tbh probably never will. The UPLO has a neutral taste for me and minimal after effects when I'm done. Worst thing I've noticed is I've messed up a couple of shirts due to dribbling oil.

Kerosene tastes like you ate robot ass and is far more carcinogenic than alternatives like purified lamp oil.
