Default Alternate DIY CO2?

Baking soda and vinegar... Why does this remind me of the old brass
and chrome fire extinguishers that were in school? Remember them, you
had to turn them upside down to work, and they only squirted a stream
of water?

And that makes me wonder why we haven't seen a post from someone
asking how to set up a small home CO2 (not dry chemical or Halogen)
fire extinguisher for injection.

Hee hee, funny how the mind wanders.

alternatively, the original poster might be able to set up a slow drip of
vinegar over either just dry baking sode or a condensed baking soda
solution. i bet the rate of liquid drip would be easier than needle
valve regulation (that's pure speculation on my part). once it gets into
an air line, i suspect it would be the same as any DIT CO2 system.
