Question: Is holding a flame to the purge merely for theatrical purposes?

Carrying two lighters with me (torch and soft flame) while standing in a river while my other hand holds a fly rod might be a little difficult...
that's the exact question I asked the guy at the shop. he said that the flame does draw out the ammonia. either way it looks cool

literally my thoughts exactly. I was amazed at how much the flavor changed.
