No, never smoked, but I hear you on that, I assume the hot slag burns through and the lighter becomes a grenade. That and the slag rolling into your ear. I've got some leather protection to use.

I learned about these passes while overseeing a 3500' long 20" to 10" dia. steel butt welded pipe job, in '94, the 2 fitters on this job were certified in the Exxon and Mobil refineries, one taught the other, we worked well together on the job and I learned a lot from them, when I had their work tested, all the butt joints were 100%, they really did a great job and I did enjoy observing with a shield on. It's a dirty, nasty, dangerous and toxic job, no doubt about it, especially in a 9 foot deep trench with water, they worked in some tough spots.
