I am not completed with this yet (hopefully thanksgiving week) i was planning on useing a grill ignition but i am not completly sure how to use it, if you have any tips or tricks that you found out with your cannons please let me know a the end off the tank i was going to put an end cap because i have one lying around and i can't afford the put a drain cap on it . alos i was thinking about putting the igniter in the screw off cap? (just a thought) !it will be painted!

Here you go!









Looks very good! Try and paint it like the paint pic!

not to bad for a first good work 8)

i still don't know exactly how a grill ignition works.

the pics are no biggie .yes, I like !! welcome to the forums.

grill ignitors work pretty simple, there should be two wire leads from the end opposite the button. One is on the very tip, the other is on the side about halfway. The side one is the tricky one, some bbq ignitors have a thin wire, others have a little tab. The tab one is easy because you can put a little clip onto it, the wire one has to be soldered or taped very good (which wont be very reliable)
Once you locate the two wire leads simply attach wires to both and attach those two wires to a pair of screws mounted into the chamber at angles so the spark gap is no larger than 1/4". Make sure you put the screws through a double thick layer of PVC where two fittings meet (for safety)

ok i'm finished (except for the paint) damn is this loud how can i make this a little more quiet?
