The only really difficult thing about this is getting the fuel air mixture correct.
[QUOTE=PelPix123;41881374]It isn't, for a few reasons:
1. Explosion is impossible.
The cans are open on the bottom, meaning compression of the gas--and therefore uncontrolled explosion--is not possible under normal circumstances.
2. Empty barrels
The barrels are empty, meaning they weigh very little and have comparitively high surface area for wind resistance.
There are more reasons, but I thought I'd outline these.[/QUOTE]

This is wrong because the fires are too small and too short to transfer enough energy to cause damage in this case.

If your careful, but fire is dangerous always.
thats pretty much the only thing to remember when doing almost anything with fire. There's exceptions, but thats when your standing away from it / not messing around with it.

It would be dangerous if you have something incredibly volatile like gasoline right under the barrel yes.
But over wet grass it's not going to do anything.
