Title: Fire
Post by: Master of Reality on 24 June 2002, 20:45
I just signed up for this forum (http://www.roguesci.org/cgi-bin/ewforum/ultimatebb.cgi) (i noticed it in someone's screenshots).

But I am gonna ask this question here though. I'm not sure how dangerous this would/could be, but its obviously got some risks: My band is gonna put a tray about 8 inches infront of a keyboard, and we need to fill it with something flammable to light whil someones playing (we are gonna put a little barricade to protect the keyboardist). Does anyone know of a good flammable solution to use? Gasoline wont work, because its fumes ignite, not the gas, and could cause an explosion. Alcohol wont work because it burns too clean and we wont be able to see it. Methanol wont work because you cant see a methanol flame (duh). I cant think of any non-explosive/unstable liquid that would burn good enough. We just wanna get some cool thing to have while we play (on stage) (not indoors).

what do fire breathers use? methylated spirits? use something nice and dirty like that, not something clean like alcohol.

Why not actually burn something solid? like some sticks, or some old floppy disks/CDs? (although burning plastic is pretty shitty).

paper creates too much black smoke. And if i did that, I would be bombarded with MS lawyers within seconds.

go to your local sporting goods / surplus store and get tri-ox (trioxine) tabs.  they burn hot but with enough of them it should be ok

or just take the burner out of a propane grill and crank the gas way up
