Sprung for a 500,000 btu "weed torch" from Ace hardware. Watch out
thistle - here I come !! I know - it's a little overkill but that's the
only
model they had in stock - and I am hot to trot. (so to speak)


Damn. What a let-down. I thought for sure the body of the post was gonna
have a link to a gourd gun. =/

You coulda got a bigger one at a WWII surplus store. Torch the whole patch
from the back porch.

What did they burn ? Kerosene ?


Depending on the (US) model, either gasoline (M1), or gasoline thickened
with napalm (M1A1 which shot further, and well, you can imagine the rest
). The propellant was usually compressed nitrogen. You could probably find
one of the mechanized ones (for mounting on a vehicle, like... say... a
tractor, HEH) at a military salvage yard. =D

Could be the start of a whole industry, Sarge. I think you should go for
it. =)
