One guy on you tube used a extension cord. He stuffed steel wool between the prongs and shoved it down the hole. The other end he bared the wires and touched them on a battery.

I see another "Bubba" may be in for a wild ride. The pocket gophers found the newly buried trenches for my neighbors automatic lawn watering system as easy digging. The explosion from his "propane adventures" ripped most of the buried piping right back out of the ground. WHOOPS.

It would be cool if you could blow up your yard like bill Murray did the golf green at the end of the movie

For you guys with big acreage and gopher/mole problems: The commercial model is still manufactured by a company in ID. I have one of them that I no longer need so will sell it cheap. They currently retail for $1400 w/o regulators or tanks. the folks there are very helpful and sent me a copy of the owner manual which I have somewhere around here.
They sell a lot of them to ranchers, farmers, and pest controllers doing a lot of rural properties. It would be easy to set up on a 3p hitch carryall. They have been in business a long time so must be a god product. Private me if interested.
Probably the same unit Oosik's neighbor has being close to the ID border.
The manufactured unit has a built in igniter.

Go to any Ag show and you will likely see several brands for sale. At $1000+ for this tool (sans gas cylinders) they are not cheap, but they do work. Like many things, skill and practice are needed to be successful.

a piezo inginer line on some BBQ grills,
or I have a BBq with a battery igniter, something like this one
https://www.amazon.com/Universal-El...ocphy=9028963&hvtargid=pla-348391030982&psc=1
as far as setting the torch, light the torch adjust to a neutral flame and then snuff it out and the mix will be near perfect fro a bang,
I discourage using acetylene as it is much more aggressive than propane.

By the way, did you know that he and Chevy Chase were never on set together? All of their scenes were shot separately.
Yeah, uh.... no.

Would hooking a hose to your tractor or lawn mower exhaust kill them?
