Do not DIY: Melt away that lingering snow with a handmade flamethrower

March 12, 2021

In a recent video, YouTuber Hacksmith Industries demonstrates how to build a flamethrower like the one featured on The Mandalorian.

There are so many practical uses for a flamethrower. You can use it to cook dinner in a snap, as long as you don’t mind some burnt meat and singed kitchen cabinets. You can use a flamethrower to light your fireplace for a romantic evening, as long as you like the sound of smoke detectors blaring nonstop. Or if you’re sick of this perpetual winter, you could use a flamethrower to melt those pesky patches of ice and snow that just won’t go away. Sure, you might set your entire yard on fire, maybe even the entire neighborhood, but it’s worth it to say goodbye to snow forever. In a recent video, YouTuber Hacksmith Industries demonstrates how to build a flamethrower like the one featured on The Mandalorian. Please, don’t try this at home.
