anhydrous amonia

Yeah, that's the stuff.

I can recall a place just north of me years ago that left the portable tanks of
that stuff they rented to farmers right out in the parking lot. That business is
long gone, but I imagine any other place that provides the stuff must have
security up the wazoo.

The meth cookers steal it from farm supply depots.
They often sotre/transport it in 25lb propane tanks.

A friend found a "brand new" 25lb tank on the side of a
busy highway. Took it home, hooked it up to his barbecue
and damn near killed himslef and his family when the amonia
came out.

The fire department and police told him he was very lucky
becasue anhydrous amonia is one nasty chemical. Every
few weeks the police catch a mobile meth lab and they have
to evacuate the area. They shut down I75 about a year ago
when a mobile meth lab sprang a leak. The amonia burned
the cookers pretty bad, and I75 was closed for about 12 hours.

A cop told me that they are waiting for some meth lab to kill
a neighborhood. Just what the world needs, some doped
out moron using anhydrous amonia. I am amazed that there
aren't more events.
