Claim 0:
1. A thermite match, comprising:
a handle having a first end and a second end;
a thermite material affixed to the second end of the handle, the thermite material having a thermite ignition temperature and a thermite burn temperature;
an intermediate transition material disposed at a distal end of the thermite material away from the handle, the intermediate transition material having an intermediate ignition temperature and a burn temperature at least equal to the thermite ignition temperature; and
an outer ignition tip disposed at a distal end of the intermediate transition material away from the handle, the outer ignition tip having an ignition property that is more ignitable than both the intermediate transition material and the thermite material, the outer ignition tip further having a burn temperature at least equal to the intermediate transition material, wherein ignition of the outer ignition tip causes ignition of the intermediate transition material which further causes ignition of the thermite material.
