Fire extinguisher....which one?
Just battled through installing a BK extinguisher bracket, now I need the bottle. (An FYI, if you have loyds or any other thicker floormats, you need to take a little bit out of the carpet to make the mat fit under the extinguisher bracket.
Anyway, I need a 2.5lb amerex extinguisher. THeres the dry chemical stuff at 20-30 per bottle and halotron at 150. Either one works the same, or should I stay away from the cheaper stuff? Any input?
Thanks!

Go with Halon. It's still the best. It's twice as efficient as Halotron 1.
A 2.5LBS Amerex Halon has a UL rating of 5BC where a 2.5LBS Halotron has a UL racting of 2BC.
