I was looking at different combustion pictures, and i see some of them, like for example again, the blue flame II by gort, has a smaller trigger button for the BBQ at least it looks like its a BBQ. http://www.spudfiles.com/uploader/uploa ... efront.jpg

It fits in the what looks to be 1 or 1 and a half inch pipe perfectly and a BBQ button liek that is like 3 - 3.5 inches long ?

The one in that picture is a momentary switch for a stungun. I dont know if you can make a smaller BBQ ignitor.

I love those long-nosed lighters, most of them come with convinient wires, plus a cool trigger.

Rip open a long-nosed lighter and you should find something that looks like this.

They work pretty good, but there not as powerful as a BBQ sparker.
