Well i heard some people suggest this and I have an unused old film camera with a good flash, how could i make that into an igniter?

Btw, does anyone know how i can get a 2 wire bbq igniter? mine only has 1 wire and doesnt work.

First of all If you cant find out how to find/buy a "2 wire" bbq igniter then I dont think you should attempt to make a Camera-flash igition i might be a little advanced for you :D . (Just my opinon)

Second if you still insist look in the spud Wiki at the top of the page. Its under Combustion cannon.
