OPTIMUS Sparky Piezo Igniter, One size, Green

This is really good for lighting my camping stove. It produces a powerful spark so it only needs one try to light the gas. It is much more reliable than a lighter or matches. I would highly recommend.

Do I need it, no, did I buy it any way, YES🤪😜😂. A Little treat, sparked up nicely first time, used on my pocket rocket 2, will field test on my next walk. Thinking ahead, thought it would serve me better with my Trangia stove, instead of lighter or matches, the real reason I wanted to buy it. Let's see how it goes after I've used it a few times.

The best thing I never knew I needed. I use mine with my msr pocket rocket 2 and it fits in the hard case with the stove perfectly. Ideal for the ultralight enthusiast or weekend warrior. 10 out of 10.

I've been very pleased with this device. I was dubious that it would work well but it does the job beautifully. I would recommend or buy again if needed.

Bought this for my stove system, which has a mesh top as part of the heat exchanger. The igniter may work on open gas vents but not if there is a mesh. I’ll just keep using a cigarettte lighter and bin the OPTIMUS.

Bought this to light my Jetboil on a recent holiday in the Peak District. Did exactly what it's designed to do, no more worrying about soggy matches or the wind blowing them out.

Bought this to light my camping stove rather than carrying a box pf matches around. Works perfectly and is small and light weight. Just have to be careful not to lose it.

Wanted to really like this. When i first got this it worked well for a day. After that it would only work if the stove ran on gas and not every click. It stopped working on the dip and click method for petrol and alcohol so no use for winter.

Ok

I've been on several multi-day camping trips with this little igniter and have no complaints; it sparks every time and is just long enough to prevent scorched fingers. It's small enough to store with your canister stove too. I didn't think much of the landyard at first but it has a use: loop around your hand so you can "drop" the igniter once the stove is lit without letting Sparky fall into dirt or snow, leaving your hand free to put your cookwear on the now-lit stove. I will edit my review once I have more long term reliability data but because of Optimus' warranty, you should always be able to get a replacement if the igniter fails.

Minuscule et si pratique ! Personne ne va le prendre pour allumer une cigarette, donc toujours disponible.

Werkt altijd! Je moet hem echter dicht bij de gasbron houden om tot ontsteking te leiden...

I have a few gas burners I use. Some of them have built in igniters, some don’t. One has an igniter that has gotten flaky. I got this to keep with the burner that has no igniter. A lighter would also work, but I’ve had them run out, and trying to access the spark for my purposes did not work. Perhaps this could be considered overkill, but I like the way this is made, and it is convenient, and fits my needs.
