Hi Bill,
Sounds like the same set-up on your CO2 bottle that our local guys
call "the welding head". Be careful with using it unregulated on the
ship's horn as I suspect it's air supply was spec'd at the 100 to 150
PSI range. As you probably know a CO2 bottle can be 400 PSI in normal
summer temperatures.
Maybe try the ship's horn with a propane bottle. It's a closer
pressure, in the 150 PSI range, and that will really get the safety
bears spitting when you tell them what you're up to. :)
Cheers, Russ

Not sure what you mean by 'Welding Head', but it has a high volume
regulator, the typical regulator that would handle welding gasses or
pushing beer did not have the volume to handle a ships horn. No dip
tube, but I suspect that If I turned it upside down it may come out
liquid, I have never experimented with that. It certainly comes out
with some force.
And boy, you are right about Wool rugs, I threw one on a bonfire
years ago, and neither blaze nor lacquer thinner would make that thing burn.

Good point Bill.
Does your CO2 bottle have a "welding head" on it?
I suspect you were being tongue-in-cheek but it gets us thinking...
Does the CO2 fire extinguisher have a dip tube for liquid
expectorant? Would a horn on a beer system CO2 (welding head) bottle
valve work in a pinch?, say to a nod to multi-purpose.
I too brew beer and have a couple of small CO2 bottles and some
corny kegs to purpose for cruising. Mmm.
As for fire blankets, it's good that the Admiral is a natural fibre
snob. Cotton & wool are excellent choices for fire blankets and
duvets. They smoulder, not flash up like synthetics, so toss the
blankie on it and follow with the nearest water jug, beer, wine,
whatever and you have a good story with a plus, if you're not
putting out fires they're warmer if it's damp out (like 7 months on
the Wet Coast) when used for the principal purpose.

Viola - Joe just gave me a reason to leave my CO2 bottle on the boat
- 3 reasons. 1st, (what I got it for ) to blow a big ship horn,
2nd, to push my favorite craft beer , ( I may have to get a large
cooler ), and 3rd, put out fires!

CO2 and halon are very nice ways to put out a fire without
destroying the interior.
CO2 extinguishers tend to be fairly big and halon is expensive now.
