How to get a hot flash:

  1. Buy a block on Magnesium from your local Sports Authority or camping store.  It will come in a little green package in a large block  with flint on top
  2. Using a knife or Dremel tool, slowly shave small carvings off the block till you have a nice size pill of grey metal
  3. Lighting it can be tricky! Using flint or matches ignite the pile. It burns bright so make sure to run away.
