Yeah stack fires mean the pilot stuffed up.
Below is a Spitfire being started correctly. I shot this short clip at Williamtown airshow a few weeks back.
Note at the end of the clip the guy walking off with a fire extinguisher. He was there in case of a stack fire. The jet whistle in the background is a Sabre getting ready to taxi out.
