You can freeze a wet sponge though!

It's normal for the person being challenged to choose weapons to be used.

On all examples. I was told to make a row of holes around the top so tried that too. It heats stuff up okay, but doesn't have the nice 'ring' promised.

ETA: After writing that I tried again in the dark. The 'rings' do come up but won't stay lit. I'm using 2 rings of 8 holes @ 6mm dia, top and bottom.

Fuel?

Alcohol can mean many sorts of fuel. Over here, we use denatured alcohol, or Heet car fuel additive.

Oh, okay. I thought you meant like ecclesiastical holy water, mainly blessed salt added to H2o.

Nope, that's what's in the sponge that @classic33 has decided to freeze...

 

[Reynard]
