Kerosene Soaked Toilet Paper - With Video
Last year I got an e-mail from a boy scout leader somewhere (I am sorry I didn't keep the e-mail to give the guy credit) who uses a kerosene soaked roll of toilet paper to make three foot flames that last for over 1/2 hour.
I had to put this theory to the test. To the Hardware store I went. I bought a gallon of Kerosene ($4.49) and a paint can ($1.89). The roll of TP I stole from the closet at home. According to the boy scout you need to soak the TP overnight, so I did just that.
It was awesome. The flames were indeed three feet out of the pumpkin and they lasted for about 45 minutes. If you want the best flame I have seen yet, this is it. Be warned that the smoke can be a little dark and stinky at first. Otherwise, it was awesome. Remember to be safe and all that.
Before you watch the video, you should know that before we shot it we did alot of prep work. We soaked the TP the day prior, we carved a special devil pumpkin with parsnips for horns, we waited until dark to get the best lighting. Matt was pretty excited to be on the video. Here was his chance to be a star. Oops.

I borrowed the video equipment for this video from work. I run RomanticGifts.com. Here is the official company video. It is sort of straight-forward. It isn't a great video, but I am proud of the work we do.
When I am not carving pumpkins, I run the world's most private drugstore. ShopInPrivate.com
Also, last year, my company took over RomanticGifts.com, so if you need a romantic gift for Christmas, a birthday or an anniversary, please consider our wonderful store.
My co-workers and I run the biggest store for bachelorette party items in the world. It is lots of fun. We have fun jobs.
