Bryant AC air filter gets sucked up partially in the unit!?

Well, it's unconventional, but apparently it seems to work. Hopefully the 'flame jet' is not so forceful as to blow burning tinder out into the room. I have been known to use a propane torch to get things started, so... The bigger issue seems to be your use of unseasoned wood.

What's up with that?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
