This is a short video of a potentially fired high school chemistry teacher performing the classic 'What happens if you light a fireball right in front of an emergency water sprinkler' experiment. The experiment goes amazingly well, and I'm sure all the students took something ... / Continue →

This is the interactive fireball-throwing wall that Wizards of the Coast (who, for the record, make way better games than Wizards of the Midwest) had on display at PAX East to hype Magic: The Gathering. It uses Kinect motion-tracking and "real time physics and spacial sound e... / Continue →

This is a video from Scott Stevenson of a powerful burning laser igniting the alcohol fumes in a series of glass bottles (previously: laser popping balloons and igniting a firecracker inside a balloon). Wow -- lasers, fire and alcohol: three of my favorite things. I'd say boo... / Continue →

This is the conceptual Darth Vader meditation chamber fireplace designed by Dave Delisle. It can be opened and closed to adjust the room temperature or kept closed when not in use. Of course it can't REALLY do anything because it's just a computer rendering and not a real thi... / Continue →

This is a video of some brobros lighting a bonfire with a homemade bazooka. And by bazooka I mean pipe with a firework in it. Still, the actual bonfire ignition is LEGIT. I think every Youtube video should at least have one explosion this size or larger. Except all the cat ... / Continue →

Yaaaar -- set sail for smores! That...is a nice setup. To the right of the ship you can even see some swords for roasting hot dogs/marshmallows/squirrels. So yeah, this pirate ship fire pit: you want it, I want it, let's go steal it. Then we can alternate ownership on weeke... / Continue →

This is a picture circulating the interwebs of an alleged Death Star firepit which is obviously fake because if you take THIS PICTURE RIGHT HERE, flip it horizontally, and superimpose it over the grill you can see that's exactly what the person who made the picture did. Listen... / Continue →

Seen here looking suspiciously like a burnt steak and a half-eaten pickle, two of the seven beach rocks a 43-year old woman was carrying when her shorts caught fire await analysis to determine what caused them to spontaneously combust. I blame Poseidon. And I'm not just sayin... / Continue →

This is the $1,700 'Third Rock' fire pit. It's a fire pit that looks like earth. It'll look great in my top-secret underground lair where I will contemplate my plans to make the whole world burn burn while watching a miniature version do just that. "Um, GW? I'm pretty sure ... / Continue →

Some kids learn by reading. Some kids learn by listening. And some kids learn by watching their idiot father drop a firecracker down a manhole and almost lose his head when it ignites all the trapped gas down there and sends the cover flying. But what did they learn -- that'... / Continue →
