As with many things, this depends on how you do it and what your goal is. A gasoline bomb, properly designed and of sufficient size can be detonated over the grease fire. All available oxygen will be sucked out of the air and extinguish the fire.

If your intent is to spread the fire then water would be an effective tool. If you aim to extinguish the blaze, high pressure, atomized water sprayed on the fire would be likely to extinguish the fire effectively. Likewise, forming water into a chunk of ice significantly larger than the grease fire and dropping it onto the blaze would also be likely to work.

yes, but not by much, I say cost is the real deciding factor. Gas is still kinda expesive, so i gotta go with water

As usual, you are a veritable font of wisdom, logic and reason. Long may you grace the forums as it is no more than they deserve.

You will miss me when I am gone.

Were you away, or just being quiet?

Or Other? 😉

I've lost interest in the meaningless ramblings of this forum and the site bores me. I have other things to do that are infintely more enriching. I stop by only to keep you honest.
