    Traffic cone on top of the canister, bottle of water down through the top. Drowns the canister and deprives it of oxygen, ending the reaction.

    That said, if you put it in a bucket of water you need to submerge it and the gas can be caustic, so wear gloves with good coverage and chemical resistance.

      They aren’t caustic. If they were they’d melt your skin from exposure to the smoke. You wear gloves (nomex or something similarly heat resistant) because the grenades are really fucking hot. You don’t want to cook your booger hooks on a grenade casing.

      Make sure the traffic cone doesn’t have nubbins on the bottom because that’ll leave gaps for the water to escape.
