I bought one of them last winter and finally tried it last month. Mine is the smaller model from jon-e. It lights up OK by following the instructions, but once I place it back in the little red Crown Royal bag fire will got out if I close the top at all. It does this just sitting on my coffee table while watching the tube, so I'd imagine the performance will be even worse when I try to stick it inside my coat. I intend to call the mfg and find out what's wrong.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
