A useful halachic note.

[xiphias]

So, fellow Jews: have you ever sat there and thought, "Well, but HOW could I burn my chametz? It's not like bread and Chereos are actually all that inflammable."

I had a brainstorm.

190 proof grain alcohol is chametz.

Okay, there's a possibility that it's only kitnyot, if it's made from corn. But still.

Soak a piece of bread in grain alcohol.

Burns like a charm. If there was a problem, it was that I had to use about a quart of water after the thing was charcoal just to make CERTAIN it was out. . .

That is a great idea. You could make rocket fuel the night before and have a rocket fuel party in a field and then the next morning burn all the chametz with the leftovers.

That might be taking it a little far though.
