For all that responded thanks for the input. I took another canister of the igniter/powder and this time looked closely at the bottom of the pile that was dumped. There appear to be a few granules that are at the bottom that are a little larger ie 1/8 inch maybe that must be the igniter. I don’t recall seeing this on the first canister. This time I used a flint lighter that was used in the old school days of lighting a propane torch. It took off like a scalded dog and I see why they have gone to an electric igniters on the newer models. You could get seriously burned if you are not cautious.
Now I just need a canister of the material to replaced the one that more of less went to waste. That is probably something I will never find but who knows. Anyway first ground rod done. 73 Mike K4PI _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
