As a teenager I worked in a feed & seed store.
One duty was to repair or replace tires using a manual tire changer. After breaking down a huge troublesome tire I found a match stem inside it. Thought it was very odd how it may have gotten in there and showed my boss.
After I patched the tire and mounted it, he came over with the acetylene bottle and a match and did the same thing.
I never had the nerve to try it.

I heard air escaping after the mini explosion set the tire on the rim. Do you do that with the valve stem out, then you have to put it back in quickly?

We used to always do it that way. We usually used starting fluid though.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find out how to inflate my trailer tire anywhere on that site.
