    if I did that it'd probably be ripped right off within the 1st half hr.
    The vehicle it was mounted in probably provided to sharper vibrations [read: jolts] for any powder to ever settle anyways so mounting orientation probably didn't matter a whole lot either way.

    With all the publicity about smoke alarms and fire extinguishers in the media lately, is it really having an effect?

    How many have checked and tested their smoke alarms, or have installed alarms in the last six months? How many have a fire extinguisher and checked it in the last six months?

    Has anyone considered a fire blanket for the kitchen as first defense? They come in various sizes from 1m square and are quite cheap to buy, too. My RRP is $27.00 for the 1m size.

    Smoke alarm, check
    Extinguisher, check (tho I should get another 1 day)
    Fire blanket, why? I have flour. Sure it's messy but it works

    As for the publicity around it, is it working? nope not with me, but I have this stuff anyways. Sales on smoke alarms probably work better than advertising them, in-fact why don't they just supply every household in NZ with a couple smoke alarms, it'd probably still work out a shit load cheaper than the current advertising costs even @ full RRP

    Are you fucking kidding me?

    I think you DEFINITELY need a fire blanket. Preferably a house sized one.

    something to try next bonfire night. Trouble is it will take a shit load of rain before we will be allowed bonfires again and really I like riding in the dry.

    We used to grab a small handful of flour and throw it at a hot element in cooking class when I was a little fella and it'd usually make the teacher cry.

    It's sad that it's only just becoming apparent how much of a total cunt I was growing up I'm amazed my parents didn't strangle me or throw me off a bridge somewhere..........

    Parents live in hope, otherwise they would all be mad or have committed self harm.

    I have successfully extinguished a couple of kitchen fires using flour to smother them. the trick is get to the fire when it is small enough and use enough flour in bulk, not as dust. That said David Bowie's "putting out the fire using gasoline" will, in theory, work if you have enough gas delivered quickly enough, but I am not going to try.

    Personally I was VERY disappointed to find 'fire blankets' do not in fact burn.... False advertising....

    Start your bonfire with our new, exclusive auto-igniting fire blanket. Just quickly open sealed pack, shake out blanket and throw over the wood pile before it ignites. Don't wait - order now
    ignites in less than 1 second once packet opened. Could cause serious burns if incorrectly deployed

    Well, if all you had was flour and coffee creamer, I think I'd use the flour...

    I would be inclined to grab a tea towel first... Main ingredient you need to deal to is oxygen, so suffocating the fire is easiest.
