How would you make something auto-ignite? I see kitchen fires in some players' futures.

Selecting materials with a low flash point should help. That way it's not burning at a temperature that will allow it to light other things.
The cool thing about auto-ignition, beside sounding like a car part, is that the whole thing is reaching its flash point at the same time. It doesn't start burning at one end and then burn across the object. It goes up all of a onceness! Poof.
