Holy cow. You get this week's "What, Me Worry?" award. g You're in a class
with my cousin (now deceased, but for other reasons). He was in the First
Marine Division in Laos and Vietnam, and he used to tell how he heated his
coffee by burning a wad of C4.

I guess it burns nicely, but I'm not likely ever to find out, first-hand.



Heck, Ed, I've done that.

It burns hot and sparkles a lot.

But it takes a LOT of C4 to heat anything.
It's gone so fast it doesn't have much time to transfer heat.
