Burn, Baby, Burn. Bristol Inferno.
He’s made that flamethrower for all the wrong reasons. You don’t make a machine like that because you’re trying to emulate a comic book character. You make it because you can — and because flamethrowers are awesome. If my weekend project was to build a flamethrower I’d be pretty satisfied with myself. Just imagine all the cool things you can do when you finish building it. Instead of letting your wife burn your toast, burn it yourself with your brand new flamethrower. You don’t need to have any rhyme or reason to singe your eyebrows off. It’s just a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
We all need to come up with more activities that could definitely use a flamethrower. I could see it being used for gardening. You’ve got to get those pesky weeds out somehow. Hunting would be perfect because all the meat would come precooked.
