The rough drawing is all there is to it really.  

Drill a hole in the 3" pipe and countersink it slightly to accept
the igniter.  Put a short piece of wire from the igniter tip to 
somewhere close to the side ground on the igniter so that it throws 
a respectable spark.  The wire supplied with it will do fine if you 
tape the loose end in place.  Screw the igniter down tight on the 
inside with the large nut provided. 

Glue everything together WELL. Let it dry about 15-20 minutes.
Unscrew the threaded cap on the back of the gun.  
Cut a large potato into thirds and shove one of the thirds Down 
the BARREL of the gun with a long broom handle.  Make sure the 
potato stops just before it gets to the 3" pipe.  

About a 2 second blast of cheap Hairspray into the open, back end, of 
the 3" pipe usually does the trick. Screw the cap back on quickly. 
Point muzzle in a SAFE direction and push the igniter.  WHOMP!
 
Insert all of the usual and customary legal disclaimers here.  If you
are an idiot, don't try this...you WILL get hurt.
