Brings back memories. We used to do that when I was a kid. Two things to watch our for. Be certain to keep your hands and fingers at the lower part of the ball and put the flame out before it gets low. If the flame gets too low, The cloth rather than lighter fluid, than it gets hot fast. As long as the lighter fluid is burning it is actually the vapor that burns and the liquid part in the cloth is cooling because of the rapid evaporation.
