I recently ran across this over at make blog. You'd have to be borderline insane to think of this, but I have to admit it's cool.
The Flaming Bacon Lance of Death
Basically it's a bacon powered torch. It sounds nuts, but it's essentially a lot of oxygen being forced through an oily substance so that it burns very quickly. I bet that with the O2 hooked up you could burn up all of the bacon grease in nothing flat.
Who wants it crispy?!

You know, I'm really tempted to make that in the garage this weekend. :-)
If you have an oxy-acetylene rig, it would probably be pretty easy.
First time I read through this I missed that he was using pure oxygen, but it makes sense that almost anything would burn well with a little O2.
I suppose compressed air might work too, but you would have to boost the flow rate considerably to get it burning very hot. So if we had a higher flow rate of air that would require structurally reinforced bacon...Where's my calculator?
Wow, what a cool way to cook bacon! ROFL
