A normal lighter with a trigger (much like a squirt gun) that would shoot naptha (Zippo lighter fluid) out of the front. You squirt as much as needed, and then easily light your fire. Works also as a regular lighter.-- ghillie, Sep 26 2003 Chef's blowtorch http://www.thecooki...2ECC7C?OpenDocument15 cm tall, very handy little thing to have when camping. [sufc, Oct 05 2004] Blowtorch?-- sufc, Sep 26 2003 Aren't they bulky? This kind would fit in your pocket.-- ghillie, Sep 26 2003 No, I think an airtight alibi is an arsonists best friend, all things considered.-- bristolz, Sep 26 2003 Is naptha a liquid?-- ghillie, Sep 26 2003 [Mr Burns]' link shows the naptha in a metal can. Would it melt plastic, like gasoline? I was thinking that the lighter would be mostly plastic.-- ghillie, Sep 27 2003 Naptha will not melt plastic. But keep in mind this is a flamethrower, not a blowtorch. The nozzle should be metal insulated from the plastic - (thats assuming its possible to fire more than one brief shot from a pocket-sized version).-- Shz, Sep 27 2003 *sufc* I like your link. I actually have that exact blowtorch and use it for everything. Camping, BBQs, soldering pipes/wires etc... Everybody needs a Chef's Blowtorch!-- namuh, Sep 28 2003 (namuh) Same here, Silver work, starting fires, lighting cigars, paint stripping. Well worth the price.-- sufc, Sep 28 2003 [Shz]: Ooooooh, a flamethrower. I didn't think of it like that!-- ghillie, Oct 01 2003 I do. If it forcefully dispenses flammable liquid its a flamethrower (um, if youre a pyro). No flames for that though. Miniaturization is OK by me.-- Shz, Oct 01 2003 I've seen a guy convert a butane lighter into a flame thrower. Afterwards, he was known as "that guy with no eyebrows".-- Amos Kito, Oct 02 2003 random, halfbakery
