I always misplace my lighters. How about a candle that lights itself. Not the candle per se but a glass holder/jar with an elegant built in lighter in which you could just plop candles, hit a button and they light themselves. No matches/lighter nec.

       What about those joke candles that you put on birthday cakes that light themselves again after someone has blown them out?

       Those only retain heat; they don't supply it

       why does everyone just want to //hit a button//? Using a lighter is sort of just *hitting a little button* anyway...[see link for lighter leash]

       Have a look at the linked fire piston. I'll have to make one of these. I wonder how hot they could go using different designs and materials.
