Default Molotov Cocktails

So I've been wondering about doing something simple and low, and I want to do it effectively, so I'm thinking about doing a Molotov so I can feed my inner pyromaniac, I've got a safe place to use them, plenty of inanimate objects to burn, but I want to see the best possible flame from a Molotov, any suggestions as far as fuels, go?

Acetone/styrofoam slurry. Not the petrol/styrofoam napalm, just a slurry. If you want to go real out there, you could use an Acetone/contact lens fluid/styrofoam/wax mix. That would be pretty awesome if you do it right.

Could be dangerous though... Might want to try the slurry first.

I'll try both and see what I can blow up, with the fire, but that's if I can get Contact lens fluid easily.

I was always under the impression that it was mostly water (contact fluid that is). You deffinitely want something quite oily with a high boiling point for molitov cocktails. A really simple one would be 80-90% kerosene + 20-10% acetone. It will catch fire easy enough, but will also stick to the target

I was always told a mixture of oil and petrol was the way to go as it is difficult to put out and burns very hot. I however have no experience with them.
