Just imagine how crazy you'd look if you have guests over, a fire starts in your kitchen, and you start throwing your decorations at it with absolutely no effect 🤣

For those that don't know, if you have a grease/oil fire in a pot or pan in your kitchen NEVER pour liquid on it, especially not water. The water will sink through the oil and instantly evaporate and expand, which will shoot burning grease/oil all over the place. That's where the fireball came from when Tyler used the first extinguisher. If you have a grease/oil fire in your kitchen, TURN OFF THE HEAT, then put a LID on the pot (killing the fire), CAREFULLY PUSH the pot away from the hot stoveplate, and then just leave it to cool down.

The firefighting "Pokeballs" have been around since the 1800's, usually a liquid or powder chemical fire retardant in a large round glass ampoule that you'd throw at the base of the fire like how you aim modern extinguishers. There's a reason they've been around for hundreds of years but you never see them and most people have never heard of them. One of the local firehouses near me has a display inside of various things including some original fire balls and the fancy carrying case they came in(I think it was fancy). They've probably got some horribly cancerous chemical filling them like liquid Carbon Tet.

I love how the grease fire just spawns in like a boss level

For the product meant to be used under the hood of the car, the product isn't putting the fire out with the chemical, its meant to remove the oxygen. In a relatively closed space like under a hood, it would work a lot better.

Tyler, most throwable fire extinguishers are for closed rooms, not outside environments. The CO2 released by the liquids or the powder is supposed to fill the room, suffocating the fire, instead of being blown away by the wind or having constant replenishment of oxygen from the air.

how to properly use a fire blanket: 1) open the case 2) find the holding straps 3) make sure your hands are also inside the blanket to prevent burns on hands 4) hold the blanket in front of you to protect yourself 5) approach the fire (still with blanket infront of you) 6) put the blanket over the fire

10:50 Commentary of the year: "As soon as it starts to go, I'm gonna pull out a bit and let it spray" 😂

Idk why but I always imagined that Tyler films these out in the woods by himself so someone throwing the green ball to him just shattered everything I’ve ever known

These were fairly good tests because the basis of them is a layperson understanding of how these are used from the advertisements. However, I would advise maybe reaching out to your local fire department and seeing if they would be willing to help coordinate a review of some of these products under "actual" conditions. For example, the hood product might actually function differently under the hood of a car and the local fire department usually has access to cars that they rig to blow for training purposes.

I can imagine Tyler’s neighbors, “What is he up to today?”

Whilst entertaining, I do wish he would read the instructuons on these things to understand what sort of fires they are designed to put out. Most of his tests were indeed entertaining but wrong conditions. Keep up the good work Tyler 😆

After this, I want to see him open different biscuit tubes and see which one has the loudest or most startling pop.

Well the fact the 2nd extinguisher is designed to go under the hood of your car (a small enclosed space" I'd imagine it would actually work pretty good if it actually goes off lol

That fire blanket is really intended for stove fires. They’re intended to be left on the pan until it cools down. They seem to be more common in the UK. I’ve got one in my kitchen but never had to try it.

“You never want to start a fire with gasoline” *immediately proceeds to start a gasoline fire*

Tyler, if a powder has enough chemicals in it to (potentially) put out a fire, I'll bet it could do some real tricks on your eyes! SAFETY GLASSES, Tyler!!

The AFO is widely used and is very successful for small contained fires. I am in the laser engraving community and know of several people who have saved not only their laser but their shops with them.

"Just throw a cup of water on it", lol. I literally said to myself "might as well use a water balloon". Good video dude.

With pans always have a lid nearby that fits the pan. That is the best extinguisher (takes away oxygen). Never pick up or move the pan when it is hot. It can take a long time to cool down. As extra safety always have a fire blanked nearby. Not only for the kitchen but also for people. Clothes can catch fire.

the AFO balls are meant for a smaller confined space from what I have seen when they were first on the market the commercial shows them being used for the trunk of a car, trash can, oven, and other small spaces were the powder can be effective and not blow away and probably more for a regular fire situation not an outdoor gas fire. the way it works is the force of the charge helps to blow out the fire along with dispersing the fire retardant powder to smother the remaining flames

I think one of the biggest "gripes" i would have is that the outside condition was way too windy for these types of products. my thought is that they would be more used for an indoor scenario... but that first one should be removed from market or relabeled so that it doesn't include grease fires... as everyone else states, way too dangerous and alternatives are much more effective.

"At 4 in the morning a fire blanket seemed like a good idea to try out" Yes. I am about this. Finally someone who populates his cart as I do. Lacking a KZfaq channel I make my cart sit for a couple days to talk myself out of things but this is the sort of logic and products I am happy to see being reviewed. I did wonder about buying these sorts of things when I saw them advertised and how well they would work in different ways.

Firefighter here. Those Fireball “extinguishers” are about the most useless pieces of junk that have ever been created, and everyone who’s ever attempted to use it will tell you the same. As for that grease fire extinguisher, I have no idea why it basically made everything worse. I’m no fire scientist, but my best guess is that there’s chemicals and/or substances in there that act like water (honestly, I wouldn’t be too surprised if it actually IS just water) and flash boils spraying flaming oil everywhere. I should mention that fire blankets are typically used indoors, and are actually pretty effective when used correctly. If you really want to protect your house from a fire, *buy an actual extinguisher.* I appreciate that you took the time to show off these sorry excuses for fire protection. Especially from the perspective of someone outside the firefighting world, I could easily see how you could be fooled into buying one of these thinking you’ll actually be protected.

Second fire extinguisher: That's a CO2 rapid release unit, and when placed under the hood inside of an engine compartment, it has plenty of fire suppressant to put out an underhood fire or engine fire. It's designed for a mostly enclosed space, not an open fire pit. The remaining space in the engine compartment of most modern vehicles is quite small, less than 10 cubic feet.

That spray kind of fire extinguisher caused the fireball with the oil, because the extinguishing agent is liquid. So it evaporates as soon as it hits the oil, and with the expansion of the steam it also vaporizes the fuel of the fire: the oil in this case. Wich will burn more rapidly, since it's have a larger surface area to contact with the heat and the air. You can do the same thing with candlewax and water. I did it a lot when I was a kid outside in the backyard

The fire ball was created for small room and container fires. And it works flawlessly. The under hoodextenquisher is meant to pit out contained area fires also.

10:52 This is a family friendly show, sir!! Lol

Flour is super dangerous to put on a fire, they cause dust explosions. 1-2-72 it destroyed a series of reinforced concrete bunkers in Buffalo

Tyler not knowing that you can't use every extinguisher for every kind of fire makes me mad.

I used an actual fire extinguisher on a grease fire once. Same effect. I have a theory that since the CO2 and powder comes out cold, moister in the air condenses on it, so its the same effect as putting water on it. Its best to simply put a lid on it or flour as you said

I REALLY REALLY want to be Tyler's neighbor! I can just imagine, sitting out in my yard, having a few drinks & watching the entertainment ensue. 😆🍹

Every neighbors home owners insurance just doubled 😂

10:52 LMFAO “THATS WHAT HE SAIIDD!!😂”

The "Pokeball extinguishers" are essentially based on a design patented in 1723 by apothecary Ambrose Godfrey. It was the first portable fire extinguisher ever invented. The powder is probably potassium carbonate, which works slightly better than sodium bicarbonate to put out fires. They're typically demonstrated in an enclosed space like a dumpster or shed, where they're fairly effective.

Whenever Tyler does something with fire you know it’s going to be good🤣

Watching your videos is like watching a 10 year old explore a garage for the first time, also has never had parents teach them anything. You're learning slowly, plus it is palm to forehead entertainment.

The exploding fire balls work good in confined spots we use them inside electrical cabinets and equipment enclosures at work

10:50 "As soon as it starts to go, I'm gonna kinda pull out a little bit and kinda let it spray more I guess"

Those fire extiguisher balls are super effective... The amount of gas in that fire will essentially never go out with a single extinguisher. Even a big industrial extinguisher in buildings wouldn't put this out...

Once as a kid I lit some pine straw in our woods (while it was dry) and it started to spread FAST, I was literally panicking so bad because our house was maybe like 200 feet away. I ran as fast as I could to our house and got my mom, luckily for us the well was close by and had the water hose connected to it. I was so relieved that there was a water hose or our woods would have been burned down.

Tyler, you can't use gasoline to start these fires and expect these to put them out. The gas vapours will still be in the air, which will cause for reignition. It's not meant for gas fires

The amount of gas he used was impressive lol. Was not expecting that

That grease fire flame ball almost looked comically edited in 😂😂 that's wild!

when you sprayed that frying pan , it caused the burning grease to spatter from the impact of the retardant , allowing more burning grease to be exposed to more ignition sources for a split second . i suppose the only way to fight that as quickly as possible would be to just go full spray and dont stop. i understand why you pulled back during the test with no safety gear on . this was actually VERY informative . i think people should see how these things work before they are lured into a false sense of fire security . great video man.

I am literally shocked he did not wear gloves or eye protection when he opened that round fire extinguisher at the end of his video.

the under hood one might work, engine bays are relatively closed off compared to the fire pit, and the job of the extinguisher is to suffocate the fire. also not to mention of course engine bays are normally hot, so you dont want the extinguisher to go off right away

I love this grown man playing with fire and extinguishers... what i love even more is im here watching the whole thing

Thanks for testing the fire ball - was going to buy a few for around our outside firepit, know not to now

Okay we clearly need second video with correct use and correct environment to use the fire extinguishers.

I would not have been able to resist lighting the " fused charge" off of the dissected exploding fire extinguisher! 😂 Missed extra content *

“As soon as it starts to go I’m gonna pull out.” 😂😂😂 famous last words

This video is equally helpful as it is hilarious. I live in a very dodgy old apartment without a fire suppression system so something that can go off on it's own does give me peace of mind, provided it works. I'd appreciate you doing a few more of these

A guy that loves fire and explosions close up...and also has a big beard. That’s why we love you, Tyler!🤘🏽

I feel like Tyler is why we have to put warning labels on things. It's just too bad he doesn't read them.

The one thing I think I would trust that AFO thing for is to protect a small space from fire. Like I think it would definitely work in something like a small boiler room - hang a few of those in there and if there's a fire when nobody's around, it might put it out in such a confined area without all the oxygen a fire has outside. But yeah, not great. If you're using it like a normal fire extinguisher, seems a normal fire extinguisher is going to work better.

This is so good to know! Thank you!

For the 2nd product, the little thing for under the hood of a car it's less "put the fire out" and more "give you a 5-10 seconds to get your shit together and hoof it" For the exploding ball, the way it's supposed to work is in an enclosed space.

I really wanted to see the fireblanket used on the grease fire. Always wondered how effective they are. I've also heard that if you don't have a fire blanket you can grab a towel and soak it and use it like a fire blanket.

The fire putter outter stuff.... dude...that's awesome!

stay safe is basically the missing catalyst that turns your home into a fresh box of matches

The reason the spray created a fireball: the grease is boiling while burning. The liquid spray (same as pouring water on) immediately flashes to a gas upon hitting the grease--which rapidly expands, sending flaming grease outward. Grease is boiling and burning at 700+ degrees; water flashes to steam at 212.

Throwable fire extinguishers were pretty much the earliest style of extinguisher. I remember watching a program where they still had original fire department glass balls filled with the original liquid used to suppress the fire. Fire blankets work great

"Never use water on a grease fire" - That goes for pretty much any kind of liquid. Also, the car engine fire extinguisher is designed to "pop" in a enclosed space (under the hood) and i actually bet would be quite efficient at doing that from what i could see.

Am I the only one who wanted to see him just use a regular fire extinguisher in the end lol

The last words the manager at Sonic said to me; "with any luck we'll have a grease fire"

That was INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS! Just a small ember somewhere in the smoking wood could've ignited the gasoline as you were pouring it, exploding the can and very likely killing you. Please, please don't underestimate gasoline. I've had family close to death from doing exactly what you just did. Love it. Go Tyler!

There used to be extinguisher ball that really worked. They were glass balls filled with carbon tetrachloride. The problem was that anyone in the room would also be suffocated.

Just to add, a medium sized fire extinguisher is designed to tackle very small fires. If you had a house fire that was the size of the one Tyler had outside, you'd be lucky to contain it in time, especially if it were a C02 extinguisher you were using (most people opt for C02 as you can tackle any fire with it). I'm not shocked at all those extinguishers couldn't handle an outside fire where there's plenty of wind, they've just got no chance.

"If you have a lot of grease fires, I would recommend something else"😂😂😂

Tyler: "I don't know how these things work. It might explode or something."

The car hood extinguisher is meant for an enclosed space, that being under your hood. Your fire pit is in open air and has openings all over the side of it allowing the material in the extinguisher to escape and not stick around long enough to suffocate the fire of oxygen

That “excuse me” killed me lol 😂

Unwrapping that fire extinguisher ball at the end was like watching someone over inflate a balloon with their mouth until it’s about to pop……. Tense to watch haha

ALWAYS check the composition of the fire extinguisher ! - Water based or foam ones are for dry fires (paper, wood ...) - CO2 are for electronics/electric fires - Powder based ones are for gas fires (and only if you can cut the gas before using it) NEVER USE WATER BASED EXTINGUISHERS ON GREASE FIRES ! It will create fireballs, instead use a fire blanket or multiple damp towels (make sure they're not dripping wet though) and call the firemen 😉

12:56 ngl, I feel like this is the direction this channel needs to go in to grow. You, blowing up stuff and/or destruction testing safes and whatnot would be extremely fun to watch

So, working in a supermarket that also has a deli that cooks fried chicken, I have a bit of knowledge on grease fires, or Class K as they're often referred to. A Class K fire extinguisher would not behave like that, as the chemicals in them separate and absorb the heat, oxygen and fuel so you'd see the fire just die instead of a fireball. Furthermore, the chemical actually looks more like you're spraying liquid than a foam. If you work in a kitchen at a restaurant, you'd likely notice that the fume hood is equipped with a fire suppression system that uses the same chemical for Class K fires because they work. I think the pressure in them is also different, but I'm not 100% certain. Also, fire blankets work by starving them of oxygen, so for optimal results you'd want to seal it off completely from the air. They also take more courage to use than a fire extinguisher because you still have to get up close and personal with the fire, but both are generally designed for small fires.

Next 3 videos: 1-How small explosions can blow off fingers when held in fist. 2-inhaling chemicals and lung damage. 3- Eyes and why you should wear goggles near explosions.

Really interesting, some of these products really made the situation worse. The explosives balls only achieved spreading a fire. I think the ball and the one you put in the wood stove may have been effective in a small space such as an actual oven or closet. Maybe that could warrant a retest, but I think they'd still spread the fire. Good content!

DO NOT use flour to put out a grease fire!! Flour is VERY flammable!! The very best way to put out a grease fire in a pan on your stove is to shut off the burner and PUT A COVER on it. If that doesn't work, use SALT. Additionally, using that huge amount of gas probably compromised the effectiveness of the other fire extinguishers. That amount of gasoline would be difficult for ANY fire extinguisher to put out! PSA over.

Thank you for this video, I was going to buy the one of those.

The under-hood ones might work if you mount 4 or 5 of them, it gets quite hot in an engine bay and you wouldn't want them to go off prematurely. I doubt it would actually save your car though, but it will probably give you a few extra seconds to escape from the vehicle.

The first one blew up because it was a cold liquid going into hot oil, evaporating and throwing oil out with it, causing the fireball from droplets and vaporized oil in the air. That first one it insanely dangerous for grease fires and I'd say electric fires as well since it is a liquid your spraying, you'd just cause more electrical shortings that could cause more fire or blow a fuse😅

The car hood one probably works better than that because being underneath where it’s kinda concealed whereas the fire pit is open so it had more going against it

The AFO is a new take on *really* old ones used many decades ago. Those we're liquid filled and glass. I wonder if the AFO is actually meant to mount on a wall a couple of feet off the floor, and leave them there. The powder would disperse over a larger area.

Videos like this makes me realize these are literally just other people with a camera and internet

The key to a throwable extinguisher, as well as the one you are supposed to put under the hood of your car, is that they rely on being deployed in a confined space, not on a pile of scrap where the wind blows 90% of the suppressant away. I speak from 7 years in the fire service having used extinguishers a fair bit.

This is definitely one of those videos where I feel the products suffered from environment. No idea how anyone would text this without risking their home but I got a hunch inside the house, at least the throwable, would perform as intended. I’ve seen them work.

Granted, none of these seem like they could ever work as advertised. I don't think throwing them straight on to a gas fires would ever do anything, some of them did seem to do something to the normal wood fires, where there is no more gas.

“The fire putter outer” floored me 😂😂😂

I’m going down a fire extinguisher rabbit hole it will keep me up and entertained until 2 am

That first experiment is why they say never use water on gasoline / Oil fryer fires because liquids just spread the burning oil. Those kind of fires require Smothering (firesheet) CO2 or dry powder extinguishers.

The hood extinguisher would be better on oil, the exploding one would be better for the wood fire, the throwable ones are good for *nothing* and the spray is good for lighting your kitchen on fire

I think the "throwable" ones would be useful for hanging near a high risk area a to go off if you're not home. Inside a tomato growing tent for example. 😄

"if that doesn't work then these things suck" then proceeded to soak the intended for close space house fire fire extinguishers in gasoline in the open air. Brilliant testing.

I wonder if the explodable fire balls should have been taken out of the wrapper first?

Tyler dismantling a potentially pressurized explosive device.. doesn't even throw on some safety glasses. 😂 Do you need a wheelbarrow to walk my guy?

When I worked on the Fire Department. A kid burned the whole house down playing with hand sanitizer. I recon after everything calmed down he had a strong talking to. If i Learned anything form the fire dept its be paranoid about everything that can cause fire

Should try the effectiveness of different home liquids to put out a fire like milk, orange juice, ketchup, washing up liquid, laundry liquid, toilet duck etc. And have water as a base. I'm sure most things would be just as effective as water but would be somewhat interesting.
