[QUOTE="RickN, post: 3195551, member: 8854"] About 40 years ago (damn I feel old) I was working construction. During winter we would build a fire in a 5 gal bucket for a little warmth at break times. We had one young guy that loved to make the fire, would even buy his own charcoal lighter fluid and get there early to do it. One day at break about a dozen of us in an unfinished apartment, sitting around the fire and drinking coffee. The guy squirts the last of the lighter fluid in the bucket, screws the metal lid on the metal can and tosses it into the fire. You have never seen so many guys move so fast in your life! Made a very nice little boom and it is a really good thing the sheetrock was not up yet because of all the flying crap. For you young folks, yes they did make buckets and lighter fluid cans out of metal, not this cheap plastic they do nowadays. :P [/QUOTE]
