I always appreciate a ghetto cannon that just makes a band and a flame. Have you ever thought of putting in way too much fuel so you simply end up with a huge flame?

I have a ghetto coke bottle combustion floating around here, which was a highly complicated system of a grill sparker and a coke bottle.
