I would avoid using propane! Could prove to be a real
problem down the road. Most flame thrower setups on
street rods and customs just use a manual choke to
richen the mixture. Then use a model T Ford coil in
your tail pipe to spark the unburnt gas and you now
have flames out your tail pipe.
Seriously, no propane!
