How can you light charcoal without lighter fluid?
One good way is to tightly crumple up a few pages of newspaper and place it in the bottom of your grill. If you have lighter fluid, soak it. Pile your coals over the newspaper and then light it. My personal favorite though is to jsut douse the heck out of the coals with lighter fluid, stand back and let 'er rip. I make a point to let all the lighter fluid burn off before cooking. Get an empty 3lb alluminum coffee can. Drill several half inch holes in bottom and sides. Fill with charcoal bricks and place on lit high heat outdoor fish fryer. Once the charcoal bricks in the can become mostly gray remove from fryer and pour bricks into your pit. I use a pair of offset pliers or channel locks to handle hot can. Two 3lb cans of bricks is plenty for most cooks but if your cooking a large cut of meat you may need three. This only takes a few minutes and completely eliminates the need and taste of lighter fluid. This really is much faster than simply pouring lighter on the bricks in your grill and waiting for them to burn off the lighter fluid and turn gray.JN

What came first the cigarette lighter or the match?
The cigarette Lighter was invented in 1816 by German Chemist JW Dobereiner and the match was invented in 1805 by K. Chancel.
The match was invented in 1826 by English Chemist John Walker. This made it possible to ignite the match by rubbing it against a rough surface. Earlier matches would have required a external spark or flame to ignite. The lighter was invented before the "friction match."
Though, the "light-bringing slave" otherwise known as the "fire inch-stick" was invented by court ladies of northern Qi in China in 577 AD. It was small sticks of Pine wood impregnated with sulfur and then required a user to get their flint rocks and strike a spark on to the Pine wood stick to ignite it. Some say that makes it a match, others say no. It was definitely a prequel to the match though.
Yes it is true that lighter were invented before matches, the modern match box was created by British Chemist John Walker in the year 1827, where as the cigarette lighter was created eleven years prior in the year 1816 by German chemist J.W. Dobereiner.

How do you replace the flint in a dunhill lighter?
It is really easy (when you know how!). Open the top, slide the very top piece (it's a small bar 8mm long and 2mm wide) above the flint BACK (there's a groove for your thumbnail DIRECTLY behind the screw which holds the flintwheel in place), which flips out the flint holder, and insert a new one. Easy Peasy !

What is the worth of B Rogers Silver Co 1883 Serving Tray 1029?
If it says sterling silver on it, it could be worth several hundred dollars weight wise to a numismatic store owner, who buys sterling according to the markets rate at approximately 20 dollars an ounce (10-27-2010). For a collector of silver plated items it may even be worth 20 to 150 dollars total if it helps to complete a silver plated set, as usually the tray completes the set for the silver plated creamer and sugar, etc. containers. If it isn't marked "sterling silver" then it would really only be worth what someone offers you, other than a keepsake of sentimental value to yourself as a possible family heirloom. lawrence_ingle@yahoo.com
How do you change the flint in a Dupont lighter?
1: flip open 2: turn to right; or clockwise; flip top should be opened mouth to right lower hinge to left;3: look and search above the line of flip top; you will see round stem; half way; up; using thumb nail; or such press it down; same time pull back; top where grooves are; back; toward left; you will see empty trough;
that's where flit goes in; you can insert vertically to round slot; clean off dusts will help; use facial tissue; place it vertically then tilt it to right; using pen or such; then pull back top; from left to right; you should hear click as pressed down stem locks into place;
if you need to really clean; get lighter fluid; or such cleaning fluids; empty out all the butane by pressing down; the intake valve; do it repeatedly till such time you don't hear sound;
then wet down on facial tissue and wipe it down;
the flint lighter comes off; if you put it wrong; it wont spark; just rotate it; put it backward; then it works;
you can use any butane; no need to buy dupont butane; just need to have right fitting; colibri butane works; as well as hobby shop; supplied generic butane works as well;
burns the same; just needs right fitting; so buy one with multiple heads and cut to fit the size;
stopped buying them; used to be able to get it for dollar; or 1.50; at most 2.00 it got very expensive; so stopped buying them; now its $6.00 per cartridge; too expensive for my pocket;
if i do; i'd use it for show off; on date or such; short of that?; using 13oz $2.49 butane;
i just need to keep buying flint;
other flints don't work; dupont flints are narrower; so unless you want to spend time shaving it;
one word of caution; don't over fill it; press down to fill once or twice; for 2 seconds each;
seem to have multiple chambers; so it will reach equilibrium;
good luck;

How do battery operated lighters work?
The batteries supply the needed energy, and complete the circuit, allowing the torch to work. (You can see the effect of having a complete circuit, for it to work when you put the batteries in the wrong way. This disconnects the circuit.)
Are cigarette lighters permitted to be carried on person or in hand luggage?
No. My wife had a nice Colibri lighter confiscated when it was in her carryon bag. She did get to her destination with it, however on her return flight they found it in her carryon bag and confiscated it. So, I guess, you may be able to take one with you, but if they see it they will not let you take it with you.
