Default never throw alchohal into a barrel stove in large amounts.

in our shop we were cleaning up and the fire went out so i thought o ill just throw a tiny splash of this alchohal that we use for cleaning parts on it. well when i was putting a little splash on the the cap of the jug fell off and threw alot more into the barrel than i wanted. i figured whats the worst that can happen. i grabed a match and threw it in. being that the flames where in the barrel the only place they could go was out the little door. it was the biggest flash i had ever seen and it burnt my hands a little. im not looking for anyone to say cool becuase it was a stupid thing to do i just thought i would share what happened

well we normally use a 50/50 mix of gasoline to diesel to start bon fires and just use a torch to lite barrel stoves. but i couldnt find the torch and matches dont lite cardboadr very well so i found the most flammable thing in the shop and used it. i was pretty drenched from the heavy rain we had been having and it was so hot a flash of flame that me from 10 feet back was completely dry,.

i was at my house having a bon fire and i threw an empty hair spray can into it a week befor after using the tater' gun, and i threw in a few plates with chicken bones in it from the grill and the can of hairspray blew up shooting bbq sause like 30 ft back, pretty funny but not really cuz if it hit someone it would probably burn them real bad. I didn't even know how it happened till a few days later when i rememberd about the can.

ok i got a good story. Not too long ago some friends of mine went to our neighborhood park to play basketball. And alongside the basketball court is a fence, and on the fence are piles of leaves that lead to the woods. So when i was done, my friend and i decide to leave, but the other two kids that i barely knew cuz they were younger than me. Well they decided to light up the whole thing of leaves. Now this causes the whole court to almost go up in flames. Also the frickin woods almost started up. So i run bak with my friend and we try pissing it out. That didnt do anything at all. Then my other friend and his dad drive through the park in there explorer to take it out. After about 10 minutes the flames went out. So my friend and his dad tried leaving the park but got stuck in the mud. And all this happened with the kids who started the fire like a 1/4 mile away from the fire cuz they were scared and didnt help. Man wat a day that was.
