My father-in-law rigged up an blast furnace using a metal trash barrel with a grate on top, and a fire at the bottom. He blew his leaf blower in the bottom and could use that thing to burn ANYTHING! That thing would even melt glass! (A used diaper, however, came out barely scorched!:laughing
For my post #300, I gotta tell a funny story....:laughing:
I used stale gasoline to start a bonfire about 2 years ago, it was a huge pile of old records, junk mail, cancelled checks, etc. I wanted to be sure it lit easily in my approved burn pit, so I really soaked the pile with stale gas, stood way back, wrapped paper around a rock and lit the paper, threw it and BOOM, gas wasn't that stale. Wife said the boom rattled the windows of our house 200 feet away, a lot of the paper was blown up into the branches of the cedars overhead.
Told a friend about that, he related a story of some husband he knew, the husband had a burn barrel half full of used diapers, and like me, he went heavy on the gas, and according to my friend, the BOOM shredded most of the dirty diapers and blew them onto the tree branches overhead...and no, they didn't burn up there...his wife was really upset about the decorations...:laughing:
