[at-l] Flame thrower

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

As a pipe smoker, I have used a number of them.  Most of the earlier ones
were lost, not tossed for malfunctioning.  None of mine had the $5 shipping
for the replacement, BTW.

They are very susceptible to fuel clogging.  Use only well filtered fuel and
they will last a good while.
