Using a fuel that burns without a wick means that flamable vapours are more likely to build up and present a serious explosive hazard.
No-one in our group (or pretty much the entirety of Dublin) uses such fuel, we saw how it burned and just said "NO WAY"
It meant no fire spinning for us at burning man, but we considered the risk far too great.

I saw a flame barrel being lit with colemans, wood and about 50 ml of the fuel.
The barrel had to be lit from one of the cuts in its side because the resulting fireball would have flash fried the person light ing it otherwise.
It went *THUD*


Further more, anyone who applies a flame to an open cannister of fuel is most likely going to get exactly what they deserve.
If you hurry playswithfire you might even make this years Darwin Awards

Hey, just wanted to comment on Coleman's. I love the stuff. I use it for most everything, and have never had it do anything close to explode. I will even fill a soup can half full, and light it. No, it doesn't blow up, it will burn like a little torch for a good hour or more. I use it to light my staff with when I'm practising. It's safe enough, when you observe the rest of the fire safety rules. So yeah, don't just write the stuff off!




That sounds very, very dangerous.

You can add cork to that list squarefish (hope your having happy travels....)

your are so loved right now
but, as with most fuels, when properly used you reduce the risk and get the benifits
