    Not claiming to be a pyrotechnician, but gas doesn’t burn. Gas VAPOR burns when mixed with the proper ratio of fuel/air mixture. Too much gas is “flooded”. Or something like that. Something I learned in school but forgot.

    But I haven’t forgotten when I emptied a 12 GA shotgun shell into a glass aspirin bottle and tossed it into a campfire. Don’t try that at home.

    “Gas doesn’t Burn”……. after thinking about Frank’s quote, I have noted that when
    it’s 30 below out and you use a little gas to get a fire started, the gas is a LOT
    less volatile than on a summer day!
