Just the temp at which it ignites. If you're raising something to a certain
temperature, it's not, by definition, spontaneously igniting. Spont. Ig.
would involve something sitting in a 60 (F) degree room and suddenly just be
burning.

anyway, yes. 451F is paper's ignition temp.

Sorry about the picking of nits above. :-D
