Should lanterns/candles be capable of lighting fires/kilns/bloomery/etc?

This could just be for game balancing, but it seems a little weird that for some things the lantern (and by extension the candle) doesn't operate as a source of fire. I mentioned bloomery in the title and perhaps it's a bit of a stretch to use a candle to light something so industrial, but a fire pit should be no problem as it uses a base of dry grass.

Candle? yes.  Lantern? eeehhh.. no.  Yes the lantern has a candle but it is within the lantern and a pain in the keister to get out.  But that's my 2 cents on this.
