Tonight I had a fun time with a haloween jack-o-lantern. I hollowed out a nice big pumpkin. I soaked a few rolls of toilet paper in kerosene overnight. So I dropped in a roll at a time and lit them up. It was incerdible. The flames rose 6' into the air, and all the little kids that stopped by were amazed. Each roll takes about 45 minutes to an hour. 2 rolls later, and the pumpkin is still standing strong. It's warm to the touch, but I could easily pick it up. Just for shits and giggles, I threw in a road flare for about 15 minutes. Man, it looked cool. The inside of the pumpkin is charred, but it's still standing strong.
Frankly, I don't kow how comparisons go between the twin towers and the pumpkin that could, but I figured that this thread is usually depressing. It could use some holiday cheer. A pumpkin with a 6' flame for 45 minutes is something that made me smile. I'll post some pics (and maybe a vid) later. Happy Haloween, all!
