Default Smoke system using used propane torch bottle?

I wonder if he was using true smoke oil and not something else that was
flammable...

At one time I thought of installing a smoke system on the Emeraude. Then I
attended an r.a.h. salmon bbq and oyster feed at Arlington. We were cooking
and sipping in front of a hangar while the air show was on.

I remember watching a T-6 go by on a low pass right in front of us, with his
smoke on. Every so often, the smoke would catch fire and a 30 foot length of
flame would ensue before the smoke came on again.

Hmmm . . . Wonder what effect that might have on my wooden frame - fabric
covered Emeraude?

I decided I didn't need to be quite *that* visible.
