ExiledInIllinois Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) How else you going to thaw those pipes! ;-) ;-) But, you have to be careful with the heaters. We have the big "torpedo" kerosene heaters in the pit @ work... Get too close and you will go up. The divers were using one to warm up after leaving the icy water... I got too close and singed the air on my arm... But boy was it toasty. Now they are saying "propane." I am assuming they were using the heaters that attach to the tank... Weren't they watching and had a fire extinguisher handy... WhyTF were they that close to anything combustible? I guess a small torch (assuming it's cu pipe) is no good either, don't want to desolder the joints? What a bunch of maroons!
