If you are going to use alcohol, use the grain alcohol because it flames very well. I most certainly want to see this. "Hey ya'll, watch this!"audie said:that would be requiring a fair bit of alcohol -wait i have an idea - i could test it out on my nephew next time i see him !
I have tended bar and made a few flaming drinks, flamed a few desserts using Bacardi 151 (only 75% alcohol, but it will catch a flame), cooked dinner in the woods for several months using 90% alcohol (rubbing) and gas line antifreeze for fuel and a pineapple can for a stove (71% rubbing alcohol doesn't work well), etcaudie said:

Hasn't everyone?
I cannot imagine that explanation, but I have seen the bottle rocket pain before. When I was in about the 9th grade, my "friends," ie-classmates, had bottle rocket fights -- indoors.audie said:
I cannot say that was the smartest thing we ever did indoors. We also had a few blow-dart wars. I we never mananged to get hit with either of those, but how, I do not know. A few years back, I held a Pyrotechnics license in GA which allowed me to shoot the big boys you see at the major firework displays. Shooting those 4"-6" rounds was about the most addrinaline I have ever had running through my body. We lit these with a flare, unlike the electronically ignited ones you see at most shows today. Fortunately, I had only one close call with a big round that was inverted in the tube. The tube was buried about 1 foot deeper when the round ignited, and the firework explosion shot off about 20ft above my head. The fortunate part is that no one was injured, just some burned clothing.
