Lantern sparker
Revision as of 02:19, 19 October 2005 by 71.136.92.132 (talk)
Lantern sparkers are cheaper than BBQ ignitors ore stun guns usually. They work by spinning a knurled wheel connected to a rod of steel. The steel has a peice of flint in contact with it at all stimes by a spring. The cheap price has a light catch however, they are a less reliable and more sensitive ignition system. The problem with lantern sparkers is that they have the tendency to not spark when wet with ANYTHING! Axe, hairspray, and starting fluid will all stop a lantern sparker from working if they should get on the flint/steel sparking assembly. They are very cheap however, and the flints are replaceable. If you can afford it, go for a QUALITY BBQ ignitor or stun gun.
