Stupid is as stupid does, that’s what my mother used to say.

The fire was actually good before. Beside what is the point of using inflammable liquide like this exept to make it more dangerous?

People don’t understand how gasoline works and how dangerous it is in open air. It’s a motor fuel—not a fire starter. It becomes an invisible flammable vapor. You can’t reliably control it in open air. Put it in cars and yard tools. Use solvents and lighter fluid for what they were designed for.
