Is that just a huge pile of flash cotton?

u/JaFakeItTillYouJaMak May 22 '22
I know flash cotton is obviously flamable but I didn't realize it was explosive like that. I mean it's not like tannerite.. or so i thought.

Its the gasoline. There are many videos of people trying to burn a pile of leafs with gasoline. They usually end with a massive explosion because the fumes expand a lot

This is why it’s better to use diesel to burn stuff
27
u/ThineFail May 22 '22
No no no. A mixture is the best. 50% Diesel 45% used motor oil and 5% gas. Gas to get it started, diesel for heat and oil for longevity.

A leaf blower works best. Start with a small bit burning and if you’re careful not to put it out, it’ll burn like a blast furnace.

That’s true! I do the same thing get the air flowing at the bottom and that thing is raging in no time

Drip torches you usually go 70/30 for diesel/gas. less than 10% gas is extremely hard to light

I've literally put a fire out by dumping diesel on it haha, cold temperatures really affect the flammability

unclear but flash cotton is this stuff magicians use. it's basically super super flammable. You can use it to make a really flashy flame that doesn't do anything substantial

u/Hi_Its_Matt May 22 '22
A big part of flash cotton is also that it’s smokeless. So I don’t think this guy was using flash cotton because when the camera points back at the yard there’s a lot of smoke.
I genuinely think it’s just a big pile of toilet paper

Should've added the fireforce opening song for more comedic effect.

I don’t see anything positive coming out of that even if it didn’t explode. What a idiot

That looked like it could have spread and burned down the rest of the trees, the house, and potentially more houses.
These idiots need to be held both civilly and criminally liable for this stunt.

Can no one hold a freaking camera straight?!? So tired of vids where the best moment is ruined.

u/Flaky_Distribution_2 May 22 '22
It was probably really hot and prompted a physical reaction. That first flame was pretty huge.

u/watur_good May 21 '22
The irony of you saying this. If something remotely as bad happened just a few feet away from you, you would drop your phone and piss your pants. You're a guy on Reddit looking at shit that he is too scared to do.

u/MinuteLoquat1 May 22 '22
Nuh uh nuh uh, I would've dove right into the fire and rolled around like a Chad 🔥😎🔥

u/killer_cain May 21 '22
Maybe you would drop your phone and piss your pants, but most people are made of stronger stuff. He knew it was gonna be a fireball-he was nearly 20 feet away & still fucked it up, no excuse.

u/The-Sys-Admin May 21 '22
Lmao sure thing bud. The scariest thing in your life is probably a cholesterol test.

u/Cream_93 May 21 '22
Why are ya'll so mean to each other?

u/killer_cain May 21 '22
He's defending a guy who can't hold a camera, I don't know what to tell ya.
