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?

Just put some double bubble on the end of a cue stick and get the damned thing out.

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.
