NEEDED that's the key word. The requirements for burning being: a fuel, a gas and heat, the gas is the answer. Now what's that gas, its very easy! Its... OXYGEN!

Nitrogen is rarely used to burn something. The only reaction I know is:

3Mg + N_2 \rightarrow Mg_3N_2

Other than that... thread is old and is now closed.
