| Blow Log |
This past weekend I spent at a friends cabin on tenkiller lake celebrating Nick Rowell's last few weeks of bachelorhood.
It was there I was introduced to the "blow log"
Yep, it's pretty much just how it sounds.
I'm pretty much new to the experience of the "blow log" - an apparently Oklahoman tradition - maybe Blake and Wes are more familiar with it. But basically it involves a dead tree with a hollow trunk that you cut into 4 or 5 foot sections (one blow log is certainly not enough for a weekend) then stand it up and build a fire in it, (or maybe you build the fire first, I never really saw the beginning of it take place, either way...) then after it's good and roaring you throw aerosol cans filled with something flammable (carb cleaner, carpet cleaner, spray paint, etc) into the log and watch as as the blaze flares 20-30 feet into the air. It's really quite mesmerizing. Honestly with as much beer and flammable liquid as we had I'm pretty impressed that no one was hurt, but luckily we all managed to escape the weekend with all appendages in tow, and not a burn victim in sight. |
