Just saw some shots done apparently with burning steel wool. Sounds risky. Looks awesome though!

That does look cool...I am trying to think about how that effect is achieved by burning steel wool. I cant figure it out, but I guess all we can do is give it go if we can find a safe way to do so.

Just make sure you wear cotton or nomex clothing
A good hat might also be good or you could wind up with a hair cut like mine
It is not hard to get steel wool to burn Cameron, and I dare say giving it extra air while spinning it would be a great way to keep a fair amount going.

As long as there is no total fireban, and someone actually brings this along, we can try.

I have seen this effect before and assumed it's one of those firecrackers that you lightup and twirl around!

or third degree burns...

effect is achieved by burning steel wool

stuff the steel wool, get me some magnesium strips, ya seen that stuff burn, yeah baby, it even burns under water - that will bring back memories of yr 11 chemistry...could be why i flunked chem at school...

My lastest effort with a bit of DIY gear...
