Yeah it's pretty cool.. but it isn't a great flamethrower... if you have 90% isopropyl and a propane or map torch you can light it off as it exits. It's dangerous, but not insanely so(which is totally subjective BTW).. it is however too exciting a proposition to not try once. I wouldn't recommend it, as the payoff isn't worth the effort.
