To investigate further, Adam and Jamie did some smaller-scale tests, varying the oil/water ratio and the shape of the cooking pot. The latter had no apparent effect on the fireball height, but they decided to use a 2:1 ratio ( of oil, of water) for further full-scale work in a mockup kitchen set. Under these conditions, they were able to get a fireball; however, they declared the myth busted because the original 8:1 ratio did not generate the stated result.
