Is it one of these? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nug |

Even though I'm all for the idea, the main 'why not' would be "you can't extinguish it and it'll burn parts of your body off".

It's hard to light but go for it. Quite a contained reaction and fun to watch it melt its way through metal bowls etc. I am on TV lighting it with an acetylene torch in series 2 of X-peri-mental if your kids watched that tripe

I'm yes, provided you film it and post it.
Oh, and use safety goggles, Safety first, safety second.

Ah, thermite. Brings back memories of school
Many a happy afternoon with the nicked ingredients from the science department It does have real world use too. Including welding rails on the railway. But that's boring. Putting it on the bonnet of a car and watching it go through the bonnet, through the iron block, through the gearbox and through the floor is fun |

I believe strips of magnesium are often used as fuses to light the thermite due to it's relatively good flammability and the high temperature at which it burns.
