The first method utilizes fuel cans half-filled with a mixture of gasoline and diesel fuel. The fuel cans are
positioned on the stack and primed with detonating cord that has been wrapped around the outside of the can.
This method may be used with a ring main. See Figures 4 and 5, Page 8.
The second method utilizes a nonelectric ignition train that consists of M700 safety fuse and a plastic bag of
smokeless powder or an electric ignition system that consists of an electric squib, firing wire, and a bag of
smokeless powder. See Figures 6 and 7, Page 9.
The third method utilizes an excelsior (straw or paper) ignition train that is at least 8 meters (25 feet) long.
Arrange the train so that it will burn against the wind. This method is used only when the first two methods are
not available.
