Incinerators are used to burn off waste gases in order to make them less harmful when released to the atmosphere. A cyclonic incinerator (10) includes a cylindrical outer burn chamber (12) having a defining wall (14), a central axis (16), a first end (18), a second end (20), and a forced air opening (22) extending through the wall between the first end and the second end. A forced air manifold (23) is provided which is adapted to direct forced air into the forced air opening of the outer burn chamber to create a cyclonic air flow about the central axis of the outer burn chamber. A cylindrical inner burn chamber (24) is concentrically disposed within the outer burn chamber. The inner burn chamber has a defining wall, a first end and a second end. The first end of the inner burn chamber has an exhaust gas opening. The second end of the inner burn chamber is in communication with the outer burn chamber. A gas mlet (34) is positioned at the first end of the outer burn chamber. An ignition source (36) is provided which is adapted to ignite gas passing into the outer burn chamber through the gas mlet. The ignited gas continuously travels in the direction of the forced air from the first end of the outer burn chamber to the second end of the outer burn chamber, and from the second end of the inner burn chamber to the exhaust gas opening at the first end of the inner burn chamber. One use of such an incinerator is to be transported to a site where gas, such as waste from a well, is to be flared, and connecting it to the source of gas for combustion
