we use mickeys bottles when availible... and we get the problem w/ the bottle exploding and not just the cap blowing off..

Some peeps on rv.net laid it out pretty clear.

1) fill sobe bottle with flammable liquid of your choice....2/3 - 3/4 full. (usually right to the glass ring just below the neck)

2) drill 1/8" hole in cap.....put cap back on bottle...tight.

3) place in fire...not too hot or the bottle will explode.

4) run....stand back and watch the show.

Not that I am an expert on this, but I heard that the hole has to be as small as possible, bottle can't be cold either or it will crack, and set it in hot coals- that works the best from what I have heard from a little guy that usually shows up on my shoulder late at night! :laughing:

I got my info from a fireman on the rv.net site....who apparently does a bunch of this. I also hear that diesel is better than regular. Since I haven't tried it yet....I've only done the homework...I can't say that I am an expert either. But with what you're saying, I'm thinking the bottle can't heat up too quickly or have a large temperature change in a short span of time otherwise it will break....just like putting a super hot glass in cold water.
