It doesn't quite explode. Instead it shoots out a super hot flame that is nearly impossible to put out.

Imagine having a blowtouch that you can't extinguish or touch which is likely rolling around.

That sounds exactly like one of the kinds of deflagration (aka low-speed explosion) that seems worthwhile to discourage people from invoking.
