## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could this accidentally spark in your backpack?**
A: It's possible for something to apply enough pressure to cause it to spark, but in my opinion, that isn't likely to happen.  The button has to be pressed with a good amount of pressure.  I don't worry about mine sparking in my backpack.

**Q: Does it come with a lanyard?**
A: The one I purchased did not come with a lanyard.  Perhaps they do now.

**Q: Is it be able to ignite char cloth or lint to start a fire?**
A: If you got one that worked. I would say probably not. It is designed to ignite gas fumes requiring much less spark than ordinary flammable products. Mine never worked even on gas fumes. Wouldn't light my MSR stove. Unfortunate because MSR makes some really good products however, this is not one of them.

**Q: Can you use it to ignite alcohol stoves like the Trangia?**
A: Yes, but there's a trick.  I use it to ignite my home-made soda can alcohol stove; works perfectly.  The trick is this: the spark ignites FUMES, not LIQUIDS.  So, if you have an alcohol stove where the liquid alcohol is exposed/visible, swirl the stove around so you get a thin layer of alcohol coating the walls.  This provides a much larger surface area from which the alcohol can evaporate.  Now you have a lot of fumes.  Insert the igniter, push the button, and - FWOOSH - you're lit!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent bit of kit!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient, lightweight, reliable

Great back up in case piezo ignition fails on gas stove

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There's a knack to using this.....
*by D***Y on 28 July 2019*

Bought this as a back up to inbuilt ignitor on camping stove. It's light, compact and packs easily. Sits in the hand well and is easy to click. However, I have some sympathy with some reviewers who say they have had difficulty lighting a stove in the wind and the clue here is that one reviewer said it produced a weak spark. That is correct and in the wind with the gas turned to very low you will struggle to obtain ignition. Turn the gas up high and you get better results. I experimented with a kitchen gas cooker at home and for any hob on the low setting it struggles; turn the gas to maximum and much better results (BUT please note do not have any combustible material on or near your hand when your doing this as the gas flame could ignite that!). Overall it is a good product. Hope this helps.
