Spittin' Wax

Ok, that's a strange title. Here is what it is all about. Everyone has a little pyromaniac in them. I certainly count myself among that crowd. From shooting stick matches with a rubber band and a wooden thread spool to melting six pack tabs into a bucket of water and a couple in between. Hell, I almost burned my house down as a kid.


Do you see the pole leading into the fire and the cup attached to the end? That's a 2 cup stainless steel cup.

When wax heats up and you introduce into the vessel a little water, the results are explosive. The more wax you have, at the maximum temperature, the more the possibilities.

The more water you introduce, the larger the explosion of fire. The distance that you are from the explosion is the key. Hence the name..spittin'.




I can not emphasis it enough. Keep at least a horizontal distance of 6 feet. Do not stand up. Spit your stream of water from a sitting or parallel position.

While you sit by your fire watching the red hot coals, smelling the wood burning and spitting that little stream of water, safely; think of me. Feel the heat and know that nature is all around us both.
