Hi Spacedout! :D
Liquid and solid fuels are different. Liquid fuel uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for fuel. But solid fuel rockets use a different type of fuel.

Until the 'parafin thrusters' were designed, solid fuel rockets were most powerful (I believe they used MnO4, but I'm not 100% sure).
But, now that a proper way of using parafin has been discovered, I'm pretty sure it's the hottest burning fuel now.
