To stay away as far as possible when lighting up a BBQ grill that's been sprayed with charcoal fluid. I hope that answers your question SIR! 🫡 And besides the flame is adjustable from about a 1/2 inch to 12 -14 inches so therefore you have the option to set the length for your application ie fireworks etc... so stay far away to keep your fingers and hands to play another day. 🙏😇🙏... Also since you asked me that question it's like me asking you why do you need to smoke cigarettes? But I never asked you why, so why do you question me? Young grass hopper 😊
