According to my brother, he once knocked the flame off his torch
and then filled a balloon with the ox-acet mixture. He then taped
it to the shop door and pushed a lit cigarette into it. The explosion
knocked him across the shop and on his ass. The door was blown
off the hinges too. As he is quite an accomplished BS artist he may
have embellished this tale a bit.

I have filled 30gal trashbags with acet+ox, most impressive explosion
with no 'containment' around it. It seems like it would be a bit much-
you'll get much more than a little dirt geyser, you'll likely get a
trench.
