    This is a big thing in cars too. You're better with a 1kg/s under the front seats than a 2-3kg in the boot when it comes to the difference in fire size by the time you get anything out of hands reach to the party. Can't be prepared for everything all the time though I guess.

    I'll own it. I have enough trouble calculating what direction is safe to piss in half the time. Think you're safe and then bam, gusts roll in

    9 seconds is all you have from the little aerosol of Potassium carbonate or similar ....KCO3
    I have one and it is a last resort...
    If my cheap 9 second canister can stop the fire before it reaches the size where an expensive helicopter and monsoon bucket is required That's what I will use it for. It is a first resort. Legging it fast is my last resort
