Modifications of thrift store purchases

calcium carbide is getting hard to find. i'm led to believe that it is "controlled" up here in Canada. just like denatured alcohol.

don't mess around with C/C in the house. play with it outdoors only. the gas created by adding water will make you sick. personal experience.

Daren......

Good point.

Really hard to find around here also. I wanted to make a combo stove to incorporate oxygen and acetalyne to super heat 2 cups of water in 1 min.

Since you started a "pan thread"..someone may want a real light "stir fry" regular one..here's one about as light as they get!
