Who remembers buckets & hot knives?

I'm currently looking at different products like the mighty and the ace cup. The bottle of the latter product made me think of what we'd do back in the day to maximise our low strength hash by using a bottle and a bucket or a bottle and hot knives.

For those who have no idea what I'm on about:

Buckets:
A bucket would use a bucket of water - hence the name which I guess shows a lack of creativity of the period - with a large coke bottle with the bottom cut out in it and with a tin foil gauze on top of the open screw thread. There was a knack to lifting the bottle while you held a lighter to the hash to get it burning and fill the bottle with smoke as the water sucks air as you lift the bottle. It was possible to screw this up and have a hash eruption that would fire hot rocks in all directions over your mates parents carpet. Assuming you'd avoided that, you'd remove the gauze and put your mouth over the end of the bottle. Then inhale the smoke as you push the bottle back down into the bucket. This would fill your lungs with thick hash smoke.

Hot knives:
This involves another bottle with no bottom. Best to use glass - like a milk bottle. You'd raid the cutlery drawer and heat up two knives in a gas burner flame until really hot but not red hot. And yes the naming convention was still very much, 'it does what it says on the tin'. There were no ace hot knives or a mighty bucket as far as I'm aware. You'd pick up a tiny bit of hash with the hot knives and squeeze them together inside the bottle. It instantly turned most of the hash into thick smoke which you'd inhale from the bottle.

Other ways of heating the knives involved wedging them into all sorts of electrical appliances where knives probably should not be wedged.

Does anyone still do these? I've not even heard them mentioned for years. Seems a pretty basic and brutal process compared to the fancy devices you can get now. The ace cup looks so civilised in comparison. Like comparing an iPhone to two yoghurt pots on a length of string.

Remember them? I made a little bucket the other week! I fancied a bit of nostalgia so I used an old bucket from the garden, a cut up 2L bottle and a bit of foil on the top, just to keep it classic. A few lung-busting hits and I was flying!

I also made a lung a while back. For anyone who doesn't know, it's the same concept as a bucket, you cut a 2L bottle at the bottom and tape a carrier bag to it. When you burn the weed at the top, usually on tin foil, you pull the carrier bag out and it draws all the smoke in. You then take the foil off, inhale until the bag is back in, cough a lung out and get high as all hell!

Maybe this week I'll get my grubby wee mitts on some hash and put the blowtorch to the butterknife! Every time I've done hot knives I've whitey'd so wish me luck! Haha

BigRoo

Man, I'd love to hear how it goes. I haven't had hot knives in 30 years. Good luck!

Gman1102

Yes, along with drainers, and bottle bags. I mate of mine, had a bucket set up in his shed, well into his 30s. I think the bottle bag was the most elaborate, and used to try and fuck up your friends as much as possible (Stitching). Large Bottle, cut of bottom sellotape bread bag round the bottom, pushed up inside, pull the bag down to draw through the bowl in the top of the bottle. Horrific. God I miss the nineties. G

BigRoo

Think we called that a lung. Was like a bucketless bucket. Seems ridiculous now. Yet I guess there was beauty to the dedication and innovative nature of it all.

Gman1102

Yeah, I have heard it called a lung. But more of an innovative name for something made from a bottle, and a bag. 😂

BigRoo

Bottle bag is much more fitting name for the time period. Perhaps they started calling it a lung, not based on the mechanics of the device but on what you sacrifice to use it.

Zigbull!

Used to have a bucket as a permanent fixture in my bedroom when I was about 18/19, along with a 4/5 litre Robinsons squash bottle in it, used to have 2 or 3 before I went to work everyday, fucking mental times, proper lung fuckers!!

BigRoo

Ah. You are that guy! I used to visit someone who called their bucket a bouquet like on the TV show. "anyone want a bouquet?" Kinda quaint now but happy times. I guess the availability of the original skunk removed the need to chase the extra hit.

Tallman74

Traffic or police cones in a bath of water used to properly fuck us up, would struggle to inhale a 1L bottle of smoke these days though!! If only I was 20yrs old again,lol

BigRoo

I'd actually not heard of that - what a brilliant mental image I've got now though. That's absolutely the spirit I'm referring to. I'd turn my lungs inside out if I was to attempt a bucket now.

I remember Stonehenge 81 and Glasto of that era, hot knife stands all over. 20p for a hit, great times.

BigRoo

Before my time but I remember back when it seemed like no one really cared about it being around. I used to go to a pub where everyone smoked openly. Cheap beer, crap local bands, openly available pot. A formative place to be as a youngster.

Christ I used to transfuse the blades in my old nanna's kitchen with grandad kenny!

Thanks for reminding me BigRoo!

Get a 2 litre plastic soft drink bottle and empty it (keep the cap). Make a small hole near the very bottom at the side (we favoured burning it). Get a sturdy foil milk bottle cap (thick foil works but isn't as good) and poke loads of holes in it with a pin. Plug hole with finger and fill with cold tap water. Careful position the foil on top, add hash, light hash and as it starts to flame release the water so the smoke fills the bottle. When there's still some water left plug the hole, take the foil off, cover the top with your palm, shake the cold water through the smoke, inhale smoke. Probably cough. Helps if you have a dextrous friend, or 4 arms. When finished, scrunch up bottle, add cap, discard.

That's what we called a waterfall

MightyRux

Yeah, us too. Good to know we weren't just making it up!

BigRoo

Names must have travelled by mouth back then. Like someone got talking on a train to someone from London or Newcastle where waterfalls were a thing and migrated the concept. In the internet era that can happen in minutes. Yet regionally we still can't agree the name of a bread roll. Bap, cob etc.

MightyRux

Seems likely. Nor the lane that cuts between the backs of (usually) terraced houses...

Comfortablenumb

🤣 Takes me back first way I ever smoked weed, used to call it a "death bong" and it absolutely killed me that night🤣

BigRoo

I don't recall ever trying one of these but can vaguely remember hearing about them. I'd forgotten about the nice quality tinfoil of the old milk bottle tops too. Simple times man.

Comfortablenumb

A guy I used to buy off had the bucket in the shed always ready to go. He would do half g buckets all day long until he ended up with popcorn lung and it fucked him up big time.
Know your limits, too much is too late in some cases.
Nothing hits like 2 litres of dank smoke though😶‍🌫️

BigRoo

Smoking copious amounts of anything will not do anyone any favours. I guess we all try to balance that. My lungs are definitely not as happy as if I didn't smoke. Up until recently I managed to keep a good level of fitness which I guess helped.

My first try of an extract made me feel like a teenager who'd just sat back from their first hotknife. I guess that's what the crazy kids aim for these days.

Nice one Eddy, very generous.

The main thing I am thankful for this year is this site and community. I've been here almost a year and met some great people and smoked some amazing weed and hash. Viva LB!
