Hickory is a hardwood that lends itself well to steam-bending. Steam-bending exposes a stick of wood to steam for a period of time to make it pliable enough to bend without cracking or snapping in two.

The cold temperature doesn't really help put out the fire -- the carbon dioxide actually does the job by smothering the flames. The rapid cooling, however, can give you a cold burn if you try to hold the extinguisher by the nozzle during use.
Because the alternator and the battery are both components of an automobile's charging system, the operation of one affects the other. If either of these parts is bad, you can diagnose which one it is by knowing and identifying the specific signs that each of the bad parts will give.
