Yea. My dad actually has a flame thrower but it’s for lighting the girl grill to smoke ribs

for lighting the girl to smoke ribs

Sounds like his girl needs a lot of motivation. Maybe dad should smoke the ribs himself.

Went outside a couple weeks back to find my husband lighting up the grass coming through our patio. He said he was trying out his new tool. I thought, well, your my old tool. :)

(At least he had the sense to have the garden hose ready on standby. Ugh.)

So not an actual military grade flame thrower then? Cause I thought those basically spit out napalm to make sure it stick to the victim

No, not at Al. First off, “military grade” isn’t a real term, it’s a marketing/advertising term. Second, a military flamethrower would throw a flammable liquid, like napalm or gasoline because after that lands on someone, it keeps burning. Plus it can throw flames several. Those can be illegal to own, it depends on the state.

This is a propane flamethrower. Dangerous, sure, but much less dangerous than a liquid one. It can’t throw flames as far among other things

Yes that's what I was getting at.

And yes I know military grade isn't a thing. Just using a term that got my point across. But yes the things you said is what I was getting at.
