> that 10 ohm 1/4W resistor smoked across a 12v source

Hahah, that's exactly the configuration I used to make fuses for rocket engines we were building with friend in high school. 10 ohm resistor on 12V burned quite nicely - and well enough to ignite the fuel.

Yes indeed - the same :) They were cheaper than Estes igniters as well!
