Really quick search shows average BP temps to ignite between 500 f - 860 f with a combustion temp of just north of 2550 f
 Better get the jet lube  :hairy

So you don't think a wide temperature rating will be sufficient?

Depends on what is a "wide temperature rating".  Is there a temp range rating for SuperLube?

Permatex, which is aluminum based, has a -60F to 1600F rating which would work for me.

What will matter to me is the temperature rating of any anti-seize grease, which is why I use Jet Lube Nikal for anything screwed into a black powder bbl.

You're close John. I generally use the upper one while kneeling. The other one while sitting. But both could be raised a bit. And the over all height should be about 8-10"  higher for use as a walking stick. With Rob's you could take care of all those necessary changes. I'm going to check out Kevin's link to look at that.
And you're right about the rabbit trail. I wish we could start a few more of them.

Thank you very much Kevin. I was using the TC product on the threads of the touch hole liner. I think I'll try the other one on the threads too. I'm sure I'll know if it isn't working.

A set of height and angle adjustable cross sticks is easy to make out of box store 1x2 red oak.  I used this set for over a decade.
