Sweet!

:-laf Oo.



Tightly re-capped beer bottles with a swig left sound alot like a shot gun blast. And scatter ash, coal and glass accordingly. :eek:



Copper pipe stuffed with rubber hose/belts makes pretty blue and green fire. :cool:



I'm an Eagle scout, I have fire stories from here to timbucktoo.

There is nothing you cant burn.







**disclaimer: respect the fire. Stuff like this is really fun, but if respect is lost you willl be hurt bad.
 
Looks like loads of fun. I hate to sound like a big disclaimer but I would never post stuff like that. I just know too many idiots who just can't seem to do anything safely. So many stories to tell. I've had friends toss ammunition, unopened soda cans (hey, melting empties is fun, won't exploding coke be cool?) and all manner of other uncool stuff. Or people who just don't the difference between seasons "but you didnt yell at me before when did that big fireball thingy" yeah but that was in the snow, its red flag conditions now moron.
 
Sweet!!

punching a tiny pinhole from the inside out on the cap of a sobey bottle and setting it on a bed of hot coals makes it sound like a jet engine before i blows the cap and into a mushroom cloud... ... so ive heard :D
 
I like taking a paper or styrofoam cup, filling it with water, and putting on the fire. The cup won't burn until the water evaporates. It's a good way to win a bet! I bet I can put a paper cup in a fire and it won't burn up immediately.
 
Just exactly do you ''place '' that bottle in that red hot tube and have time to get away? How much average time untill liftoff?

I once placed a propane throw away cylinder a few feet away from a burning rag and shot the thing with a . 22-. 250. Thirty foot fireball. The cylinder was omly half full. The empty cylinder had fire burning on top of ice [probably the butane they mix with the propane]

Let's just hope we do not see any tdr members on the Darwin website!
 
whats important is the bottle doesnt break when it his the bottom, soft dirt or sand will help with the first one of the night. With a hot fire you usually have 30 sec or so. A tight fitting tube to the bottle will give better results and faster times.



Obert- your disclaimer hits the nail on the head.

Word of extreme caution. My friend reported doing this and the tank flew right over his head and nearly into his truck. He claimed the tank was about 75yrds away.
 
Fires are so damn fun! A friend of mine ("strick") on here and I had a BLAST (literally!) with some gun powder and 7 oz beer bottles in a bonfire. The "learning experience" was trying to get the amount of gunpowder right. I filled the first bottle about a quarter of the way up and put it in the fire. After our ears quit ringing and the Earth quit shaking, we picked up the scattered logs and put them back on the fire, then used considerably less gun powder (after drinking some more liquid courage!). Diesel fuel, used engine oil, gasoline and propane in a beer bottle are fun, but nothing beats gunpowder! Damn that was fun! Fireworks are a lot of fun too, especially the bad boy artillery cannon ones that you (are supposed to) launch out of the tube. Light one and watch what it will do if enclosed in a 55 gallon drum!!!:-laf OR A 5 GALLON BUCKET!!!! NOTHING left of the bucket and the drum looked/acted like a torpedo!! Those things are also fun to hold (firmly) and aim the tube, such as across the road (at about 45 degree angle) at a neighbor who will "shoot" back. We had a blast! It is mighty amazing I can still see and somewhat hear these days!:eek::eek::eek:
 
Huh well you see the NE gang has an an exelent handle on playing with fire (And Signal is a firefighter and he is the worst culprit) anyhow



Fun = 4" truck exhaust , a makeshift fan , and of course a burn barrel. Watch the amazement as metal becomes clear enough to see flames inside barrel.

I have had my upright burn barrel that hot before. I burn everything in it, but most commonly just household trash. I "fan force" it also, using a small squirrel cage fan and a piece of 3" flex exhaust pipe. For "fuel", the hottest thing I have found is used engine oil or anything rubber (tires, old dock bumpers, inner tubes).
