Just so you know...... Any extinguisher older than 1984, or any extinguisher with a fixed nozzle must be removed from service (NFPA 10, 4.4.1) Yours doesn't meet the minimum 3A rating anymore and if it hasn't been Hydrotested in the past 12 years, the chemical has reached it's shelf life and won't work as it should anyways....... False security......

Boy I'm glad to know that jobe! I've sure been generating a lot of flames and sparks. I'll be sure and get my kitchen in code compliance.

At least bang it around a bit to loosen the powder.

I cringe when I see people banging the lower flange on an extinguisher on concrete or other hard surface. We saw that had been done that way and the bottom opened up and powder everywhere.

Once on a cold, damp morning aboard a 30' sailboat I had at the time my brother fired up the alcohol stove to make some breakfast while I was on the helm. He over primed the stove and got a flare of burning alcohol. Instead of throwing a towel over it or even hitting it with some water he grabbed the companionway extinguisher and shot this huge cloud of white fog over the whole cabin. Looking down through the hatch I though something had blown up until this white faced ghost came up the ladder to tell me what happened. After I got through laughing at him we tackled the clean up effort. What a mess, in the cole weather the surfaces below were damp so all of the exposed fiberglass and the cabin sole were covered with a white paste. When I sold that boat several years later the new owner mentioned finding some white powder in a couple lockers. I told him what it was and he couldn't believe some of that stuff was still there.

I will work on my scooter in the kitchen the last day of my life. Regardless of which day that is, it will definately be the last. Babycakes don't cotton to that kind of carryin' on. Chief
