They should be if you have the fine grained igniter charge on top. It's 
easily ignited while the more coarse welding charge is not.  I had 
several "Old" charges.  The igniter charge had dropped out of the base 
of the container and poure in with the welding charges. Those, I used 
the OxyAcetylene torch with a #1 tip although any of the smaller tips 
will word as long as the flow isn't high enough to blow the charge out 
of the cup.
