Eh, hem! And you lost the invitation for me to attend the Big Bang. That would be sooo fun!

Off topic: You just gotta wonder if he shot them empty, or full with a punk attached?

they are too light empty so I fill them with sand or water. There has got to be enough weight to supply some resistance to the powder burning.

Make sure you run your generator once in a while every month or two under a load, i use a work site flood light to make sure the generator still runs good, like some have said about running it dry, all I do there is shut the shut off valve off and let it run out, that way you have a tank full of gas.

Requires no external electric power?
That is important.

We have never used the electric part, for the fan, and never had any trouble. Ours is set in one place, but I love the idea of putting a tank on. Perfect for the she shack.... Thanks, James!

Some have a fan and some don't. We had one of each in a house we rented years ago.
