As I said earlier, camera flash or get a flint thing. Camera flash would be the best probably 'cause it can make a big spark and all you need is an old throw away camera.

While I'm thinking about it, GO TO THE SPUDWIKI!!!! There is loads of information in there that would solve all of the past 5 questions that you've asked(yes, I've been counting). It really isn't that hard. Go to the top of the page, click spudwiki. Now either go through manually by clicking on combustion and then ignition or something like that or just use the search feature on the left side of the page while you're in the spudwiki.

Yes, the spudwiki has pictures for those "visual learners." If it doesn't have all the info you need then use the forum search option. You usually can find someone who had the same question as you earlier. If all else fails then ask SPECIFIC questions.
