No, but my brother did attach a long string to 12 OZ can of petrol (or as we call it "gasoline") and placed it on a burning grill located in the space between our house and our neighbor's. He yanked on the string pouring the contents onto the burning coals. When no great fuel air bomb fireball ensued he ambled over investigate. Fortunately for him (though maybe not for his future wives) a MOAB sized fireball erupted while he was still about ten feet away.
Our neighbor's wife, who was innocently sunning herself in her yard, across a low fence must have felt the frission shared by Hiroshima survivors. Visibly shaken and trembling, she retreated to safety of her house, loudly espousing her clinical assessment of my brother's, parents' and whole family's mental health.
I used "petrol" because I thought simply calling it "gas" was too vague. The only bona-fide mushroom cloud I have ever created was in my high school AP Chem class.
