ignitable
Ready to burn
Ignitable means capable of catching fire.
The term appears most often in safety regulations and technical contexts: ignitable liquids, ignitable vapors.
Something ignitable will burn if exposed to sufficient heat or a spark.
The spelling inflammable means the same thing, though ignitable is more transparent—flammable things ignite.
