An apparatus for dispensing incendiary spheres comprising a hopper operable to store discrete unitary unprimed spheres; a feed mechanism cooperating with the hopper to extract unprimed spheres from the hopper; a rotary sphere delivery mechanism rotating in a first direction and having at least one pocket defined therein, the at least one pocket being adapted to capture a sphere, wherein the feed mechanism cooperates with the rotary sphere delivery mechanism to load an unprimed sphere into the at least one pocket; a rotary injector mechanism rotating in an opposing second direction and having at least one injector needle, wherein the rotary injector mechanism and the rotary sphere delivery mechanism are synchronized such that the at least one injector needle pierces an unprimed sphere within the at least one pocket as the at least one pocket and the at least one injector needle rotate past each other; a source of reactant in fluid communication with the at least one injector needle, wherein the rotary injector mechanism delivers an amount of reactant to the at least one injector upon the at least one injector piercing the sphere to start a delayed exothermic reaction within the sphere thereby priming the sphere; and a motor to drive the rotary sphere delivery mechanism and the rotary injector mechanism.
