Default RE: How to thaw a froze outdoor water hydrant?

Years ago we had a gizmo made from a piece of rigid copper pipe with an adaptor to screw a garden hose on. Take the top of the hydrant off and stick the pipe into the hydrant pipe and hook the hose up to hot water and turn it on. It'll melt it's way down very quickly. BTW the copper pipe was about 1" as I recall. Should look for that thing as I haven't used it in years and it'd be nice to know where it endedup.
