| Lighter in a heater I accidentally dropped a lighter down a built in-the-house heater. I tried to get it out with no luck. Should I be worried about this? When we DO turn on the heat, is it going to explode? |

| can you see it at all? If so, buy some gorilla glue and coat the end of a stick or something with a little mass on the end of it, push it down there until it touches it and let it sit for a couple of hours. I used this technique one time with a plumb bob on a string to get a piece of cardboard out of the bottom of a 40 ft elevator cylinder. |

| Sell your house before winter comes. Don't tell the new owners about the lighter in the heater. Problem solved. You're welcome. |

It should explode, but it will only take out one or two rooms max. Now's a great excuse to tear that sucker out and install central heating. |

| Why was this moved to the zone? This man will never get the help he needs now.
