Step 2Burn, baby, burn!
Wad up some of the orange peel in your hand and squeeze it. Orange oil will come out in a fine mist. Try not to get this into your eyes; it will most likely hurt a lot. It does smell nice, though.
Do this near a flame, and you will see little jets of flame due to the burning oil. If you throw a section of orange peel into a bigger fire, you might see little jets popping off the surface as the cells boil and explode. This will not smell quite so nice, though.
There must be some way of extracting this oil in large quantities, maybe for use in orange-scented floor cleaners, or to add a fruity aroma to burning biodiesel. Just a thought.
Oh, and remember: I'm not responsible for any loss of life, limb, property, or eyebrows resulting from the use of this instructable. Have fun!

So does this mean that lemons are combustible?

it'll take too many oranges to make enough for lighter fluid. when you squeeze the peel a fine mist of oil sprays out.

if you were to squeeze an entire orange it may work...I'm not responsible for what happens whether it be explosions or some cool fire. any loss is your fault.
