huh - I thought this was already a done deal - magnesium powder fuel on a piece of foil

[zelph]

Nah!!! that's kid stuff. I thought you would have entered that one in a T candle tin. (not meaning you're a kid ) I'm a kid at heart.

[jlb2012]

I'm hiving visions of dozens of WB'ers with no eyebrows running around stomping out the flaming remants of stoves and such. Scorched pots, holes burned in the center, families burned out of their homes, pundits on the daily news expounding on the wave of hikers admitted to hospitals, politicians ranting endlessly about the threat of hostile hikers and their explosive devices disguised as harmless cooking instruments!

Good God, do you have any idea what kind of imbroglio you may have started?

Note to self: run spell check a little more often.

As the fourth of July weekend comes around once again, we all need to exercise extreme caution in using any pyrotecnic products including stove fuel. Be carefull my fellow pyro "stovies"
