Halloween time \ Flaming pumpkins!

I love to carve pumpkins, and a few years back me and my cousin came across a very cool way to display our creations……

1.  Carve a pumpkin (one big enough to hold a roll of toilet paper)

2. Fill a paint can with kerosene (hardware stores sell empty cans)

3. Soak a roll of toilet paper in the kerosene for 30 minutes or more.

4. Place the kerosene soaked toilet paper in the pumpkin (its best to use a cheap pair of tongs)

5. Light the pumpkin.   It should burn for up to 30 minutes, the biggest flame is usually in the first 5 min.

6. Please be careful.  It’s fire……

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, if you cut up a roll of toilet paper and wrap the pieces in twine and soak them in kerosene you can fit the in smaller pumpkins….
