[Noisebridge-discuss] Resource for flaming things?

[Jonathan Foote]

Lee Sonko (who is on this list?) teaches a flame effects class at the Crucible.

Also DaveX from Burning Man does occasional flame effects workshops,
but I don't know of any currently scheduled.

For a simple tiki flame, a straightforward regulator through an open
pipe should work fine, though. You don't need a backflow valve as
there's little chance of reverse pressure. Some stainless steel wool
will help the flame keep alight in windy conditions.
