Here Is A Pretty Good Deal On Fire Extingushers
I cannot remember what we paid in last years GP, but seems like it was more than $140. Does anyone remember?

I think they are the same. Here is one from the GP. If I remember correctly we paid in the $175 range.

Oh yeah good ole Halon 1301. Navy used that stuff for years down in engineering spaces. Puts out a oil fire real quick. Not good for the nervous system though. Ask me how I know. I have my CO2 bolted on top of my speaker box, out of site.

Pep Boys has a chrome extinguisher for $27, even comes with a bracket. I bought one (after my 3rd freakin' gas leak this spring!).
No fire yet, but a fourth leak... anyone want to hook me up on a deal for a good carb?

Halon
According to H3R, who sells both Halon and Halotron extinguishers, Halon is not only twice as powerful as Halotron (i.e. 1.25lb Halon unit packs same punch as a 2.5lb Halotron), it is less expensive than Halotron, and less toxic to humans. Perhaps that's why Halotron can't be used in the home, but Halon can(?). Bummer is that it does deplete the ozone more than Halotron.
