The Phlogistinator is a primary weapon for the Pyro. It is a retro-futuristic ray gun with some metal parts colored either bronze or silver depending on the team, and a team-colored canister stamped with the Dr. Grordbort crest. It fires waves of energy that function identically to the Flamethrower's flames.
With the Phlogistinator equipped, all fire damage done by the Pyro will increase a "Mmmph" bar. Once filled, it can be activated with the secondary fire command, which performs a taunt that will refill health completely and enable a short crit boost. During this taunt, the wielder has 90% damage resistance. The taunt cannot be activated if the player is in the air or in water. The weapon cannot gain random crits or use compression blasts.
It requires approximately 221 fire damage to completely fill the "Mmmph" bar, and the duration of the buff is around 10 seconds.
Enemies killed by the Phlogistinator suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange cinders that quickly fade away.

Update history
December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)
- The Phlogistinator was added to the game.
- Fixed a problem that would allow Pyro Mmmph to activate in the air without taunting.
- Fixed an exploit with The Phlogistinator where the effects could activate without taunting in high-lag situations.
Bugs
- Upon contact with a resupply cabinet, "Mmmph" is reset.
- In some cases, when you switch from Pyro to another class, you will have only 50 ammo.
- After activating "Mmmph" followed by switching class, the "Mmmph" glow effect will be present when taunting.
- Mmph gained is not reduced to reflect Damage Resistance. For example, hitting a Spy protected by the Dead Ringer will enable the Pyro to fill his mmmph gauge, despite the Spy not having enough health to do so normally.
- The canister does not glow when critical hit boosted.
Trivia
- Template:W is a theoretical fire-like element that was once believed to be contained within combustible objects.
- This weapon's design seems to be inspired from the "Unnatural Selector", a model which can be bought here at Weta's online store.
- While the Phlogistinator grants 90% damage resistance while activating Mmmph, it will not protect against damage from Backstabs.
- Killing an enemy with a Hadouken will fully charge the Mmmph meter.
