[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 262399, member: 483"] I used Halon mainly because its what I had space for and could afford. But the coldfire stuff only extinguishes what it comes into contact with whereas Halon almost sucks the air out of the entire area. (If you've ever tried to breath anywhere Halon has been sprayed you know what I mean.) I've had the misfortune of using both on various insundry fires around work / the house and you have to get the liquid directly on the base of the flame or it keeps burning. BUT the liquid stays in place, so for stuff like dripping / leaking oil that keeps leaking on your hot headers it tends to keep the flame from re-igniting. Halon won't do that, but it is like a bomb of fire retardation. If you're just close to the base of the flame with it it will put it out. I'm not sure what is "best," but I think either is better than nothing. [/QUOTE]
