Mythbusters had an "unairable" episode where Adam successfully lights his own flatulence on fire which was recorded using a high speed camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqFRBHPIE-w&feature=related —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.248.45 ( talk) 23:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
The hydrogen sulfide is stated to be odorless first and then to be partially responsible for the fart odor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.141.47.140 ( talk) 10:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

This is, without irony, possibly my favourite article on WIkipedia. Thank you to all involved in its creation! -- MrTrilby 01:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
This article puts to rest any notion that Britannica is better than Wikipedia. -- Foxhead ( talk) 10:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Meaning that Britannica is definitely better than Wikipedia, no doubts about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.150.250.189 ( talk) 11:53, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
I removed the following two sentences because of the poor grammar, syntax, punctuation, and phraseology:
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Angry Kid and/or the episode(?) in question, so I was unable to reword it accurately (e.g. does Angry Kid actually fart on his sister, or is this just a poor translation from the contributor's first language?). EmmetCaulfield 10:15, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
So, umm, someone want to take a pic so we can remove the pic tag at the top? lol -- ALLSTAR ECHO 00:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I think the "References in popular culture" section needs a reference to the lit fart scene in the 1981 movie "Caveman" with Ringo Star, Barbara Bach, Shelley Long and John Matuszak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brucepick ( talk • contribs) 14:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I think the references to popular culture are quite interesting and relevant in terms of background on the overall stunt of fart lighting. I suggest reverting the "popular culture" section from [1]. There's not much scholarly or academic discussion of fart lighting, so popular culture is the best reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wxidea ( talk • contribs) 08:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I am going to remove these per relevance and WP:ALSO. Maybe they can be worked into the article? Thank you. -- 70.181.45.138 ( talk) 22:57, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
The current image, while slightly humorous, is not particularly illustrative of the topic at hand. Actually, it just looks like a man whose posterior (bum, ass, butt, etc.) is inexplicably on fire. And as for the Zappa quote... well, that's just totally out of place (nothing to do with the section it's placed under). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a quasi-comedic, semi-serious blog. I know it can be difficult to be serious (objective, encyclopedic, etc.) when writing about a topic such as this, but we must honestly try. The article in its current state is almost... well... laughable. Fuzzform ( talk) 05:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
The whole "Motivations" section seems to be about why and when Americans light their farts (e.g. the reference to "fraternity houses"). Believe it or not it has also been known to happen on the other 93% of the world's land mass as well.

It should be mentioned that you need some kind of diffusor (underwear or pants) to make the gas ignite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.208.151.124 ( talk) 22:42, 18 March 2010 (UTC) Air is often swallowed with food. This can provide enough oxygen to allow the flatulence to ignite inside the anus. I assure you this can happen if attempted without clthing on the anus. The underwear or pants can be considered a flame holder to minimize the chance of internal flame injury.
There should be an expanded section on safety. Particularly pointing out the hazards of the ignition of pubic hair, clothing, internal anal burns and the potential for the flame to extend some distance igniting the surroundings particularly bedding, curtains, christmas trees and furniture upholstery.

Seriously, wtf is up with the image in the lead? I mean, I recognize the need for an image, but this is a really amateurish, ms-painted, captionless monstrosity. Is there really nothing better that can be done? Sithman VIII !! 02:05, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure a few lab geeks have carefully characterized human emissions using mass spectrometry.
Sadly, this article is sorely lacking supportive documentation.
We need to include objective and reproducible flammability quotients as well as fire-risk assessments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dosware ( talk • contribs) 03:06, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
After some Google searching, I can't find a single instance of the phrase "making an awesome" used to describe fart lighting if I exclude content that is quoting (or plagiarizing) Wikipedia. It's also not listed in Urban Dictionary, which is reasonably strong negative evidence. This claim is so dubious (and suggestive of vandalism) that I'm going to remove it outright rather than adding a citation-needed marker. If somebody out there feels that this really is a common term, feel free to add it back—but not without a reference. Gerweck ( talk) 00:43, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

In my humble opinion, this does not belong in Wikipedia. It is frivolous, juvenile and wholly in conflict with Wikipedia's mission of providing a serious reference tool. Let's have some discussion on this: do you agree? Disagree? I can't find a specific Wikipedia policy that prohibits an article like this, but let's use common sense, people. Yes, you found some references to this crude topic (including some on YouTube) but that doesn't mean it merits an article. BuzzWeiser196 ( talk) 13:08, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
"In order to "fire fart", one must have a fart prepared in the anal cavity, and a lighter at the ready. Then they fart onto the lighter."
Really? "Have a fart prepared" and "fart onto the lighter"? this does not feel like encyclopedic language. Wikipedia isn't meant to be instructional, it's informational. Furthermore, I see no source suggesting that "fire fart" is a commonly used term for this. 155.33.134.29 ( talk) 04:23, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Data is interesting, but process of combusion could do with more detail. Do we have any scientists working in this field who might be able to push a bit of gas into the discussion and illuminate the area for us? Mrspaceowl ( talk) 19:56, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Surely, the words “and Lake Titicaca” in the lede are nothing more than tongue-in-cheek infantilism, and thus vandalism requiring removal. I tried scanning through recent edits, and it seems this grade-school humor has been allowed to stand for a considerable length of time. Unless, by pure coincidence, the local South American population call pyroflatulence “llama azul,” I’d suggest deleting the content (and, optionally, having the editor warned).
