Disabling dyno room houseflies w/ Surefire Mapp Gas Torch

I’ve received several Emails from DynoCam watchers who were very
intrigued about me using Yellow-bottled Mapp-Gas torches, instead of
fly swatters to shoot flies off of the walls and various surfaces of
the dyno room. The past two weeks have been hot and humid, perfect for
those annoying houseflies that must enjoy snowmobile dyno tuning, and
wish to join us in the air conditioned control room. Many years ago, I
discovered that the Mapp Gas Surefire torches we sold at the welding
supply next door were perfect for dispatching these annoying, germ
covered pests. Surefire torches use trigger operated peizio ignitors to
create an instant 2000+ degree F flame that is quite perfect for
incinerating, or at least burning the wings off of  houseflies.
After aiming carefully and closely at the offending insect, a deft
click, on-off of the flame, regardless of the surface the fly is
resting upon, results in at best a dead fly, or  a wounded
wingless  pest that will walk around the control room floor untill
someone steps on him or her. One subscriber noted that while he watched
on the DynoCam, I blasted several annoying  houseflies off of the
plexiglass covers on the four analogue gauges on the dyno console with
the 2000degree Mapp gas flame. Dead flies, but perfectly fine
plexiglass that will melt into a useless glob at 400 degrees F. Why
would I fire, point blank,  a 2000 degree F  torch at a
plastic gauge cover on a $50,000 dyno console just to dispatch a
housefly? It’s the confidence I’ve gained dynoing 1000’s of engines,
where I know 5000 degree F combustion chamber temp fails to melt
aluminum pistons and combustion chambers that melt at 1200 degrees F!
That same cooling boundary layer of air that insulates and protects the
pistons/ combustion chambers also protects the equally expensive
plexiglass guage covers on the dyno console guages.
Using Surefire torches to kill or wound flies in the dyno room is much
more sanitary than squishing them with germ-covered fly swatters.
And the plexiglass covers on my SuperFlow analogue guages are like new,
no heat induced distortion that might make  130 HP look like 180
HP.
