Jim - I didn't take it that you were saying the chimney extinguisher is the thing to use. But did I miss something?

No Gary, I didn't mean to suggest that something like a road flare would be good in a vehicle fire.

Just that the form factor and concept are nothing "NEW" and pretty much the same.

Obviously this is putting out a minutes worth of dense smoke, with no visible flame.
And it has a case + handle.

I doubt that adds $55~ to the cost of manufacture, but there is the liability of someone holding it in their hand.
And -of course- import, marketing, celebrity endorsements, yada yada.

Jim,

Thanks for the clarification. That was my understanding of what you said.

That's really interesting. Especially that it covers all classes. Added to my wishlist to follow suit with Dave - put one in the truck and phase out all of the others in the shop and house as they expire.

I just ordered the Element 50 and an extra clip. Bought it directly from Element as I couldn't find the clip on Amazon, but had to pay shipping. Don't have a delivery date yet.
