Good for starting the brush piles.
Kills weeds too!

Didn't The Marines use those things on Iwo Jima??:?

Yup, the fuel was a little different though.

Ugh.....that torch brought back awful memories of industrial roofing.

My coal sits in water..........

Sitting in a river...

New to the forum, but have only used one match since lighting on 11-20 thanks to the great inf. on this site. For the wet coal... I don't have a bin and use 15 gallon galvinized cans to get and store my nut coal. My stove is in the basement, so I stack my cans 3 high against the wall with one near the stove for loading. I can fit about 110lbs. of coal in each can and with 10 can get a half ton each trip. As the coal is stored in the basement with the stove, the water evaporates pretty quickly just being in the area of the stove. Thanks again for a very well run site,
Scott

I use mine to light charcoal for the dutch oven when I'm in a hurry. The charcoal is ready (gray) within 2 minutes or so. Off topic, sorry.
