whatevs works
Ummm, I'm not sure what kind of steel your using but as a blacksmith and welder who's forge works a steady 1800f and maxes out around 2100... I've never had steel ignite....:yedone: :explodepepe:
Just bending facts a lil.

if you powderize steel you can make it burn (think thermite powder mix) , but aluminum foil actually truly burns quite nicely at that temp too!

just like if you try to light a log with a match versus the same amount of wood in sawdust format.

Edit: Steel can burn at lower temperatures but if we're talking autoignition temperatures, iron goes off at 2399*F methinks

I have some powdered 1095 but it's to expensive to experiment with. I do enjoy burning magnesium though.
