"My grandpa used to put a coffee can filled with flaming heating oil under the pan of his International Harvester pickup truck. Worked perfectly."
Many years ago my father-in-law used to live in a remote Northern BC town. They were devout church-goers and even showed up one Sunday in -62C (-80F) weather.
Understandably, the propane tank was frozen so they lit a bunch of tires underneath it to thaw! !! If I saw someone doing that, I'd drive as fast as I could in the other direction.
He's an honest man so I believe his story.
