Flex-Lighter: Simple $9 ignition method?

[redchigh]

My mother-in-law used to have one of these, and I remembered it... I recently saw it in wal-mart for 9.00.

I figure it would be easier to click than a BBQ ignitor... Might keep the BBQ as a backup...

I was thinking, drill a hole in the chamber (middle for power or end for safety) Epoxy the end for a tight fit, then flex the lighter flush (trigger-style) with the chamber and blast away.

Wait, what about Winn-Dixie's? I see this topic was edited, so maybe you saw something I didn't?

Back to redchigh's post. Maybe, if the outside diameter of the end-piece was right, you could get out your good-ol' die set and thread it, then tap the chamber and thread it in with some teflon tape? I don't think epoxying it into the chamber would be the most secure option, (although I'm sure jack would disagree with me. )

EDIT- whichever mod or PCGUY edited this topic, could you delete my post since you fixed the link in the original post? We don't need two links.

Of course, you could just connect a wire to the hot electrode of the lighter, another to the metal flex tube and then run those two wires to traditional screw electrodes in the chamber.
