I never doubt the stupidity of man when I see things like this.

Pure genius :rolleyes: :8:

Yeah..... I bet his neighbors downstairs don't let him borrow sugar after he burned down their apartments!

i wonder what his wife said as he went out there.
either way it sounds like he was using a "weed" burner

Harbor Freight sells a heating torch with piezo start that operates off of a 20# propane tank. One of it's stated uses is to melt ice from the sidewalk. To remove any doubt of my own stupidity I will admit to owning one though I have never used it to melt ice.

lol idiot
