On my river trip last weekend we intentionally cooked 7 pounds of bacon Saturday morning.  There were 12 of us on the trip.  The amount of bacon was necessary not just for the sustaining of life as we know it but because we needed fuel for.......

Wave My compliments to Wardrobe and The Production Crew.  Flower

Why thank you! 

I must say though that as Grease Bombs go that was not my best work.  It's way cooler when you can get them to go thermo-nuclear with a secondary explosion.  I'm blaming it on pre-mature ignition.  I should have given the bacon grease another 15 minutes to really get hot.

But it was 110 degrees, I was slightly - just slightly - altered and I really just wanted to get back down to the party on the boats where it was much cooler.  But heat and impatience are no reason to ignite a grease bomb early!  I have learned the error of my ways on this one.

Wardrobe?  What wardrobe?

Kids - DO NOT TRY THIS AT BLUEGRASS!!!!!

I totally agree....the Grease Bomb is not appropriate for blue grass.  The Grease Bomb is a river thang.  Created by housewives in the midwest, it was refined perfected and taken to new heights by river guides in Idaho who then passed it on to river guides in Grand Canyon. 

If you notice, I am using an 11 foot oar and am crouched VERY low to set it off.  There are NO trees or anything else within 50 yards of that thing except for the ignition crew who are crouched VERY low and using an 11 foot oar.  Did you notice how crouched low we were??

Nope - if you wanna save your bacon grease and jump on a river trip sometime that would be the time and place to learn this new skill.

No flaming festivarians at bluegrass - PLEASE!

Yeah...20 Megaton Grease Bombs tend to heat things up a bit I bet?!? Proper attire must be crucial? AZ I assume  huh

Aye.  It was well over 110 during the day and dropped down to a balmy probably 100 at night.    It wasn't quite 20 mega-tons though - more like 4 ounces.  But that certainly has me thinking - -

Does size matter?

Hmmmmmmmm.   This might require further experimentation next trip.

You may want to consider your  quote wardrobe quote in that experiment. Wink

Finally viewed with sound. (noticed a big ball of flame too  LOL )

I can't believe you called that thing a dud!!! You're nuts lady, a very endearing trait.  Flower

At the time it just didn't seem big enough.  Looking at the footage now I agree it is a respectable grease bomb.  But really man, once you have gotten one to go thermo-nuclear it's hard to be satisified with anything else...

A mean a secondary mushroom explosion following right on the heels of the first one.  Who wouldn't be disappointed?????

But yeah....this one was not a dud.  It was worthy.

I hear that scientists are actually trying to find ways to put more pork particles into the atmosphere in order to help combat global warming, smog, hurricane formation, and wind shear.  Bacon grease fires my soon become all the rage with the environmentalists and next year the Telluride Bluegrass Festival may be 100% pork powered!!
