Ok everyone, prepare to witness my ignorance in all things Tiki. I haven't had a chance to go book searching yet, but I'm intrigued by the Volcano bowls I see pictured on the internet. What exactly are they for and what is the purpose of the raised area in the middle. (standing back to duck the flying fruit spears) |

A Scorpion, or Kava Bowl, or Krakatoa (or a volcano), or any of those communal drinks, usually. You put a little 151 rum in the volcano well and light it up for the presentation...sort of "fire and ice". |

Instead of lighting 151 rum (watch those eyebrows!), some people will use a little dry ice or light a rum soaked sugar cube in the volcano. The rest of the bowl holds a communal drink fit for 2 to 4. It's a cool (there's that word again--make that zazz?) social tiki experience, much more practical than throwing the local virgin in a lava pit. |

Thanks for the info guys! Now at least I know what those great lookin' bowls are for. Of course, it will put a big damper in the virgin sacrificing. Drats!! :wink: |

The best flame is with a crouton soaked in lemon extract. That's what they do at the Bahooka. Much more visible and taller. Use PLAIN croutons! |

Good question SCD, the stuff I bought a while ago was real expensive for a tiny bottle. So, what's the best? |

I've had good results with Smart and Final's house brand of extract. It works great(since it's mostly alcohol) and it comes in a large bottle. (about 12 or 16 oz). Maybe $5. I haven't been able to find it in the one gallon size that the Bahooka uses (maybe at Costco?) but I've set a lot of drinks on fire and I haven't finished my bottle yet. Flame on! |

If you guys want a really good flame try rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol in the volcano center. It makes a great orange and blue flame that is just about the right height- and you don't have to remove a burnt crouton afterward. The stuff only costs $0.69 a bottle- just make sure it doesn't spill into the drink, rubbing alcohol can be somewhat toxic if you drink it! Flame ON!! |

WOW!! I must say you guys are a wealth of info. Personally, I find the idea of drinking something while a fire burns in the middle a bit scary. Not that I'm scared of fire, but what my relatives might do. I have an image of a bunch of burned baseball caps and singed eyebrows. :wink: |

You can find old ones in thrift stores, antiques stores, on eBay, or you can order a new one from Dynasty Wholesale: |

Does anyone have a good recipe for this bowl? I love it at my favorite Chinese place but they won't give out the recipe. I'm trying to find one that's close. |

I just found one of these at a charity shop: its very large, and the volano is divided up into 2 parts. the top part is like a cup with a small hole in the bottom. and the bottom half of the volcano is like a bowl inside in the traditional volcano bowls you put alcohol in the center and light that , but what do I do with this? anyone know? is this somekind of dry ice effect that is suposed to be used in it? if so how exactly is that done? |

Last night my wife and I had dinner at a nondescript Japanese Steakhouse in a stripmall in the burbs. To our surprise, the drink menu listed Mai Tais, Zombies and a Flaming Volcano! "You gotta be kiddin'!" was our reaction when the waiter brought this out! After polishing it off, we found the underside to be marked "Orchids of Hawaii." Looking behind the bar we found more goodies. Could these be vintage? There was no one to ask as we were leaving, but we'll be back. I know Dynasty sells these, but are they still marked OoH? Bottom line is, they ARE STILL out there! |

They are all vintage except for the one on the top left that is white and yellow. |
