New silly question.... Any thoughts, designs, or advice?
So… if you are one of those people who ignores common sense and egomaniacal then you may suffer the cost of your actions.
With that said, I doubt that you could actually design and construct a sufficient barrier in the form of a huge skip plate that would provide enough protection from the chances of grass getting caught, catching fire and then dropping back onto the ground to start a raging fire.
It’s amazing what uncontained smoke and fire in the dead of night does to your sense of alertness!
... A non-contact thermometer is on order (EXTECH 42510A) to tell me all about it.
Wow... nice thermometer!
OK, I tested the cat on a different Toyota yesterday with my new thermometer. I hunted and hunted around the catalytic converter, catalytic converter shield, muffler, exhaust manifold, and everything could think of. The highest recorded temperature was 110 C, and the truck wasn't off for more than 5 minutes before I checked.I'd have checked mine, except for two reasons: First, I have no catalytic converter. Second, the exhaust manifold gasket blew a couple days ago, so it's not going to the field 'til that gets fixed.
These are reasons you need to carry a minimum 5# fire extinguisher and a shovel. During fire season this is REQUIRED. If the Sheriff, State LEO, or ODF (Oregon Dept of Forestry) find you on gravel roads with out this, they will fine you. Sometimes I will carry a 5 gallon jug of water too.
