I have access to this at work, the last one i set off caught the dam ditch on fire! LOL got it put out quick tho, before it got out of hand! I'm getting ready to try a 40lb bag with a thermite pot and a frozen pond, should be interesting

Morons. Didn't they realize that even in a best-case scenario that explosion would shower them with molten metal?

@sentinel76 Oh ya for sure in the workplace you need to be aware of what's going on, It can be dangerouse out there. But there's no problem with some backyard splosion fun. No disrespect meant.

@DC211228: *sigh* You couldn't've guessed that I work in an electric steel mill, where part of our induction is the danger of explosions from molten metal on water. Ever seen the Mythbusters launch a water heater? (I'm sure it's here somewhere.) On rainy days, I've grown accustomed to the *thump* shaking the building as wet scrap gets dropped into 40 tonnes of liquid steel. I'm not under a rock, I know what's there, and that's why I'm wary of it.

@sentinel76 don't worry you are safe under you're rock.
