A simple dead cylinder, and a little imagination is all it takes. Some
gunpowder, some rope fuse from a gun show. A fellow could buy old
gunpowder
fairly cheap from reloaders, I'd imagine. Would that burn too hot, and
create too much pressure?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black powder ONLY!!!

TYVM. Saved me some money, and I'm sure the neighbors are gonna appreciate
it, too.

Reminds me of the time we set off the 55 gal. steel barrel with OA mix and
spark plug. Man, that sucker was LOUD! Got a couple of windows, too.

We had it cleaned up by the time the PD got there, and all we could say to
their questions was, "Huh?"
