Oops, my mistake, you’re partially right.
1400 °F was
too low, they actually burn at
1,600 °F
“Fusees…ignite at 191 °C (376 °F) and burn as hot as 1,600 °C (2,900 °F).” (from Wikipedia: [
en.wikipedia.org] )
As for cutting steel, wrong again. And I'm sure you haven't cut steel with a fusee; that's what torches are for.
From: [

"Iron, out of the ground, melts at around 1510 degrees C (2750°F).
Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F).
All still missing the point regarding safety, stupidity and wanton destruction of personal property.
