By daylight the Dragon Smelter has the presence and physical appearance of a gold and black ‰ÛÏViking‰Û Ship. In an arch, its head and tail swing up off a 12‰Û_ wide deck which sits 3‰Û_ off the playa and has an attached metal step ladder for public access. By night, the Dragon Smelter adds colored flashing neon all the way around it and up the head and tail which also expels fire-effects, sending flames 25‰Û_ out both the head and tail of the installation. Under our safety supervision we allow anyone who wants to trigger these fire effects to do so with a remote-controlled key-fob! It is fun and exciting and gives immediate gratification to all participants who use the remote. We participate at night, ‰ÛÏfire talking‰Û with other fire-effect installations on the surrounding playa during BM nightly. 2012 Honoraria
