This recipe is meant to be as simple, reliable, and cost-effective as possible, and has been extensively field-tested. It does not require technical expertise, hopefully avoiding the specialization found in old manuals that would have the aspiring arsonist first become an amateur chemist or electrician. These devices are meant to be produced in bulk with extremely common and inexpensive materials. They are also designed for reliability in the field — even in wet and windy conditions — in order to minimize the possibility of an unignited device being left behind. Relight candles are very reliable but should technically be watched to ensure they do not go out and fail to relight within the first 60 seconds. This design does not incorporate any redundancy, so we recommend placing two complete devices next to each other if possible. The time-delay provided is about 5-7 minutes, which is sufficient time to leave the area in most scenarios.
Disclaimer: We are publishing this recipe out of context during a moment of potential social unrest, in hopes of saving our fellow anarchists and anti-colonial fighters some time and headaches when learning to construct an incendiary device for the first time. While there is nothing particularly original contained here, please use this information wisely, and always take appropriate precautions when planning attacks.
