In this Ible, I will show you the best potato canon ignitor.
I not only lasts long, but works great.

You will need:
A (non-electric) BBQ Grill Ignitor (Home Depot- $6)
Electrical tape
Soldering gun (Optional)
Tools:
A decent brain
Wire strippers

Trash

You only need one wire for this igniter. so throw the other one away or keep it in your spares pile.

Strip the Wire

Now cut the wire to a length around a half inch past the tip of the igniter and strip it so it can bend over the tip.

Connect

Push the wire (or solder) into the tab at the side.  Now bend the wire over the tip at the end.

Finish

Wrap a piece of decent size electrical tape around the wire on the tab to prevent movement and other currents.  Install in your potato gun and enjoy!!!

P.S.- Make sure the wire stays bent while your installing it.
