just browse the combustion cannon show case find all the cool features you like and combine them into one really awesome cannon... and people tend to get pissed off when you don't use proper grammar around here, just a warning. do a search for "metered propane" but don't come back and ask questions on it until you have read a good deal about it, or people will just tell you to use the search button....

I think you should establish a budget first.

yeah, you should try to avoid something that general, and wait until you encounter a problem or need help to ask a question.

LOL, If you want to spend all that money on 1 combustion, then look into getting a Stun gun for igntition. Or make a search Project out of it, By trying to make it have a HUGE with a chamber like THIS :headbang:

That size can be hard to find, But might go over Budget. Just some ideas. :D
