[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2797072, member: 1039"] Gasoline is good stuff! We used to burn the trash in a barrel with the top cut out. I'd put a little gasoline in through the axe cuts in the bottom (for air), make a little trail, then light the trail and run. It would make a woosh sound and light. One time the match head broke off (lit them on my zipper) and I missed the trail. Mom wouldn't let us take the box of kitchen matches with us. We were given one match. So I ran back to the house and got another match. It was a hot summer day and my trail was gone when I got back. So I added a little more to the air hole and made another trail, just a little longer. I broke the match again... I ran back to the house and got another match. I added some more fuel and added to the trail. I stood back, lit the match and as I turned to run away I dropped it on the trail. There's was a muffled boom. I turned back to look and the burning trash was rising above the trees and scattering all over. There were little fires going in the woods. The chickens were going nuts, mom ran outside and once she saw I was alive and running she wanted to know what was going on. I was running around with a shovel knocking fires down. I explained it to her later. I didn't do that again. We had more room in the can though... [/QUOTE]
