If you think that's fun you should try it with a gallon of kerosene and a 1/4 stick of dynamite.
I actually have done this except I used gasoline instead of kerosene, it made a very large boom I was 14 and stupid.
Gasoline works too but since it's the vapor that lights, it can be a lot more dangerous to the operator. Kerosene is an oil, so it stays (more or less) where you put it.
If you can do it right, kerosene will boil-explode and make a lovely mushroom cloud.
If this is true, I'm kind of curious to try it. I'd have to find someplace out in the country though I doubt I'd get away with it in the city.
