Hmm, interesting:

"It is possible to ignite a pool of gasoline using only a cigarette.

partly plausible

A cigarette has the potential to light a pool of gasoline but just doesn’t have enough sustained heat. Gas ignites between 500 °F and 540 °F, the cigarette at its hottest was between 450 °F and 500 °F but only when it was actually being smoked. An ignition is very improbable."

So, in other words....you'd have to hotbox that sucker right in/above the gas pool to be effective... I'm thinking your efforts to be dramatic might just work....but perhaps not the way you wanted.

Are you selling seats to the show?
