[[I personally do that once in a while to get oil to light deadfall trees in a burn pit.]]
Put kerosene or charcoal lighter fluid on the brush and let it sit for a few hours. Then light it with newspaper tucked into the branches. Will touch off much slower and burn longer to get the branches going.
NEVER use gasoline under any circumstances. Its too volatile and burns much too quickly. I knew a kid that had the same thing happen but he survived. He had about a dozen operations on his face, neck and scalp to deal with the burns. The flame will travel right up the stream of a gas can and explode the can which is what happened to him.
Good knowledge to share about just how dangerous and explosive gasoline can be.
“NEVER use gasoline under any circumstances. Its too volatile and burns much too quickly.”
Right you are! It’s those properties of gasoline that make it best suited for internal combustion...Gasoline has no other safe use but as a motor fuel...
