Can I make a miniature indoor fire?

Question

Alright, Im kind of a pyromanic so I enjoy seiing fire. My question is: Can I make a minature fire on my desk if I only have a cork plate (you know the thing you put under pots and other hot stuff) under it. Im only burning paper but im concerned that maybe the ceeling will catch on fire or maybe the tin can melts or everything explodes up in my face all of a sudden.

Please give me some advice on this dangerous game of mine. THANKS

Answer 1

Do not set fires indoors!!!  It may seem ok at first but fires can get out of control very easy.  If you are going to set a fire indoors, you should have one or two very good fire extinguishers and a phone near by to call 911 if it gets out of hand.  Oh, and a way to get out of the room if the door gets blocked by fire.

Answer 2

Stop watching The Office on TV.

Answer 3

Buy a miniature oil lamp with the round wick.You should check it before you purchase it to determine if the wick rolls up and down easily then take it outside to play with it!

Answer 8

Another reason not to have a fire inside your room. Fire needs oxygen to live, if you have your door and windows shut it will use all the oxygen in the room, you will get sick and eventually die! It happens every year in the winter with people who try to use BBQ's to heat their homes!

Answer 9

here we go again. I'm far crazier pyro then you.

roll the paper in to a tight ball then put some clay  on the bottom of the paper ball fold it about 1/3 the way up. dip the paper end in rubbing  alcohol.

your celling shouldn't catch on fire just do in the bath room or just go out side to dissipate the fumes.

the tin can will not melt but it can explode if you put flammable stuff in it like sprays or acetylene gas but thats if the fumes are high don't have it pressurized.

but heres some real advice do it out side and have a bucket of water. or just have a BBQ.

Play with fire and get burned.

Answer 10

A candle and a match

Answer 11

You Are Right; it is a "Dangerous GAME"...!!

Answer 12

First, stop! are you nuts, anyone can play games, but fire is not a toy. The chance of this play getting out of hand is great. Get a job in a chemical lab if you want to burn things. I've had access to many chemicals, including sodium, which burns in water(Violently) to gun powder, and a variety of reactions. I can understand your fascination with fire, and although I have it too, my fun comes from safe play and more interesting results.

Answer 13

Maybe you could get a job with a pyrotechnics company.  More towns seem to be setting off displays for more occaisions.

You might also study electrical plasmas, its sort of like fire.

Answer 14

Do it outside where at least you will not be suffocated, die of inhalation, or set the building on fire.

But do it where there are no combustible materials close by,

It will be destructive to you in the end, it can serve NO GOOD PURPOSE! Find another dangerous game, like skate-boarding! or bike riding! STAY AWAY FROM FIRE!

Answer 18

Burning paper produces dioxins, one of the most dangerous substances known to man, and the very same chemical responsible for causing all of the health problems associated with  the "Agent Orange" exposure in Vietnam. In addition to that, a slew of other carcinogens and neurotoxins are released into the air each time you burn paper. The bottom line is, you shouldn't do it. Is a few minutes worth of seeing some fire worth developing cancer later in life?

If you MUST burn something, I would advise selecting more natural substances, like leaves or twigs. While carcinogenic particulates are still produced, what most people don't realize is that it's the dosage that determines the poison, and a once or twice a week transient exposure shouldn't cause you any detrimental health effects.

Answer 20

Not so smart of an idea, Why not save yourself problems. If you try that and get away without burning something down it will lead you on until you do something really stupid
