Looks great!
Needs element stick on the roll bar is handy too- though not an extinguisher replacement….
To add to my previous comment though. You are right, element e50 are not extinguisher replacements. Cus they aren’t technically extinguishers. They are fire inhibitors/suppressors. So yes, if you need/want an “extinguisher”, you gotta get the bottles

That’s pretty obvious lol. But for my campfire I’m not wasting a 80 dollar element
I was just trying to put the info on the table for others that may not be informed for their use- do’s and dont’s… $20 extinguisher $80 stick…. People tend to grab what’s handy if they have not trained/educated them selves…

Huge fan of the element sticks. They are handy, easy to use, great “run time”. :) just hope others know when and where they need to be used :)

2.5 Gal pressurized water extinguisher is a great add if you are equipping your truck as a support vehicle. I keep one in the back and have used it many times and it's an easy refill. Add 2.5 gal of water and a half cup of Class A foam (or Dawn if you don't have access to Class A foam), pressurize it to 100 PSI and good to go again.

I have used it on grass fires, brush fires, vehicle fires and even knocking down a kitchen fire (not a grease fire).

They do have their downsides but as an addition to Dry Chem or CO2, can't beat it.

100%. Proper education on what to use and when is in short supply these days.
