Hey everyone, so I literally know next to nothing on this but want to pose a question. Is it possible for a burning laser from 40-60 feet away hitting a piece of stainless steel, cause it to heat up to the flash point of natural gas as it is running across it? I'm working on a work project and this is way out of left field so please be gentle in the comments.

As your first post here you ask a question with potential national security implications. Really? Really!?
The people here are generally pretty helpful guiding newbs to the information they need but in this case I suspect you're not gonna get a lot of help unless you provide a lot of justification. i.e. the details of your 'work' project. Even then, those that would know the answers are probably not going to be too forthcoming on this particular subject.

Looking for ways to light gas flares from a distance. As of now most ways done for it are to light a rag on fire and throw it up to light it or use a long stick to reach it. So just tossing around the idea. Figured if we had a way to heat up the stainless bell that we use to the temp of igniting the gas.

Might I recommend a spark plug system: a long steel wire with a ceramic sleeve for insulation hooked to an ignition coil. Trigger the spark with a remote control as needed or set up a system to fire things up when gas flow is detected.

^^^THIS^^ Or, any number of ways to remotely spark gas into combustion.
