Drip Torch
A driptorch is a tool used in wildfire suppression, controlled burning, and other forestry applications to intentionally ignite fires.
The driptorch consists of a canister for holding fuel with a handle
attached to the side, a spout with a loop to prevent fire from entering
the fuel canister, a breather valve to allow air into the canister while
fuel is exiting through the spout, and a wick from which flaming fuel
is dropped to the ground. The wick is ignited and allows the fire to be
directed as needed. The spout and wick can be secured upside down inside
the canister for storage or transport. Typically the fuel used is a
mixture of gasolene and diesel
with a ratio of 30% to 70% respectively, although, the amounts may need
to be adjusted according to fuel and weather conditions.[1] Sometimes heavier oils are used to increase adhesion of the liquid fuel to the vegetation, and increase burn time and heat.
