Lighting Fireworks
« on: April 14, 2015, 02:00:45 PM »
With fireworks night coming up in Tasmania (not sure if other states have the same), I am wondering what people use to light their fireworks. Now I am not talking about one or two rockets here, I am talking 30 minutes of continuos lighting.

In the past have used a couple of cigarette lighters but end up with the tip of my thumb burned from the lighter and the wicks. Have tried those gas lighter things that run on butane gas but wear out the flint action or the flame just isn't strong enough if there is a breeze about.

Looking for suggestions/thoughts that others might have. Did find a fire lighter head that goes onto the butane cans that go in the cookers that have been recalled but not sure what they are like.
