Mix Dollar Store gems with rubbing alcohol for this brilliant outdoor idea!

[@thewild5]

Also... please NOTE to viewers NOT TO SQUIRT more alcohol into either bowl if getting low. The flame will go back into bottle and explode leaving life threatening burns. Please be very careful viewers!!!! ⚠️ Hometalk... consider sharing this in your videos. I know your heart is in the right place with your videos, so please share cautions that are needed.

Same risk with squirting charcoal fluid on hot coals. Don't be that guy. You'll lose all your facial hair at the very least. People may stop inviting that careless soul to the cookouts. Saw this happen. Except we didn't stop inviting Tony. Great guy plus the cookouts were at his place.

[@danielslagle6440]

Use to play with a bottle of alcohol and sucked the flame in on purpose and it never exploded. Granted this was the 70's and we played as hard as we partied! In fact back then we had never heard of safety first and we all lived! We had chemical sets and everyone had a knife and even took our guns to school to hunt afterward, and all sorts of dangerous things that are outlawed now. So so sad. We had good sense and understood limitations or learned them quick, I suppose. Go ahead, turn out the lights, open a bottle of alcohol and light a lighter above it then push out a little vapor! It's awesome!

[@Sweet_Life_]

You won’t be arrested if you don’t make the fire display. It’s not hot enough to melt plastic, unless you pour alcohol in the seat and light it. “Fumes” aren’t an issue. We used to take alcohol, mix with citronella and never had a mosquito at the outside table.

[@gingereaves4097]

There won't be many fumes - much less than the fume you breathe when you fill up your car with gasoline! Also, don't stand right over the fire and inhale! SMH

[@tacojunebug6710]

Take a shot every time you hear the word SO.

[@livinglife8333]

Concrete is very porous and the alcohol will seep thru it, might not want to do this indoors. If you line it with a metal bowl or cup and make the concrete thicker it would be better. Also keep it FAR away from pets and children or places it could be knocked over or sloshed out. Better yet inside a fireplace or outside would be far safer.
