Firing
Now lets get on to
firing. You will need a ram-rod, a simple broom stick
will do, and a board. Take your spud and rest it atop of
the barrel. Next take the board and hit it square to cut
the edges off. Then take the rammer and push it down the
barrel. Careful not to push it into the combustion
chamber! It is best to make a mark on the rammer to see
how far to push it down. With the potato down, get your
hairspray and spray about 3-7 seconds in the combustion
chamber, then put the cap on right when your done spraying. Now,
be Careful were you aim! Twist the sparker and C'ya
potato.
