Basics
- A modification of a Fuel Can that allows it to leave a predictable line of fire on the ground
- In order to save fuel, it can also be used to leave “drops” instead of a constant line, akin to the motion of lightly watering potted plants
- Used in controlled/ Prescribed Burns
- Much more effective (and safer) than other methods such as a fuel can and a lighter, or flamethrowers
Used For
- Controlled/Perscribed Burns
Industry Standards
Existing Open Source Designs
Minimum Viable Product
- Safe
- Modular
- Easy to Use + Adjust
Basic Design
Fuel Resevoir

BOM
Internal Links
- Plastic Sphere Dispenser
- An alternative type of fire lighting method for Prescribed Fire / Wildlands Firefighting, typically used with Aircraft/Drones
- Uses something akin to a Ping Pong Ball filled with a catalyst (Typically Potasium Permanganate which prior to being “launched” is automatically injected with Ethylene Glycol or Glycerin making a time delay fire starter
