Thread: Garbage Burning Fail

we burned our trash at my parents' since we lived in a location the garbage truck could not come. So once a week we'd shovel the ashes/cans/glass that was left into a black bag and drop it off at my grandmothers for pickup. Anyways, I remember numerous occasions when a lightbulb, or aerosol can you forgot to take out of the trash before you lit it on fire would scare the shit out of you when they exploded I wonder what ignited so...

Im guessing it was the fermentation of food. Maybe the same way you make moon shine.. and the gasses that come off of that??

they probably just shoved a lot of crap in there and had air pockets and when the paper caught fire and hit an air pocket in a small container it only has one way to go and thats up. My father and i about 20 years ago, had a concrete Fire pit we packed palm frawns in and put a lil bit of gasoline on top since it was still green frawns. We tossed in a Match and BOOM all that packed air went up quick! lol it blew the ceinder blocks into pieces.
