sorry if this is a noob question but i am a noob to cumbustion cannons. i have a simple Pvc cannon with a BBQ igniter. this ignoter works fine (as in it arch everytime) but when i load the fuel and press the button nothing happens. so i was wondering if i added two more electrodes on the some igniter would help? also is it even possible or would it make both really weak?

Your problem is probably that there is too much or too little fuel. Too much fuel and there won't be enough oxygen for it to light and too little fuel and there won't be enough gas to light. Also, 2 spark gaps should be possible with a bbq ignitor so long and the two gaps combined are slightly less than the single gap you're getting.

That and a stung gun costs $20 bucks on ebay. A BBQ ignitor will cost about 10-15 bucks. If you have to replace it once(which a stun gun like never breaks) then you're already to 20-30 bucks that you could have spent on a stungun.
