    Sounds interesting, what does it do, is it just a silent intensly coloured flame? The Esco Cinder Cones do that.

    Do you remember which one of the two it was?

    Picked up a pack of those wheels from tesco yesterday, seem quite good for £5, wouldn't go out especially for them though!
  • i know about portfires but a blowtorch is a one off payment and it will be there for next year

    i ordered one yesterday.

    Ebay german seller with good feedback. £3

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180740159893?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

    more like a windproof lighter but should be ok for fireworks.

    or they have creme brulee blow torches for around £6 i think

    I don't like port fires, the smoke they emit it horrendous, its like being choked when you get a waft of it.
