very busy, right now I am working 68-72 hours a week, and I might have to start working sundays... I am on a tight dead line to get these done... I am slightly concerned. They got a lot of units racked in the yard. but some are heading out from what I am hearing, and that is mitch's new shop. woot woot I am now indoors in the winter!! lol

I dont like this style of flarestack, Sometimes when yoru on location with a little bit of a slope to it and u need the stack level, you need like 6 feet of blocks under one of the legs....

I forget who makes it, either propipe or bluestar, but I like the stack that has the I-beam legs that are vertically adjustable with a lock pin so you can level it without using 1000 wooden blocks when ur on a slope.....

They Make a propane fireball type of ignitor..

My preffered method of ignition ----> flarepen shot up the auxillary tube.

But nothing works better than the electric ignitors that we use on our 120 foot stacks.
