Lighting your heater/cooker?

[hamms-scooter]

What do you use to light your htr/ckr up? I picked up a lantern lighter one of those with a flint on it you just twist it and it throws a spark. Its a replacement part.Will this work if i permanently mount it on there or will the heat from the htr ruin it? I looked at the pic of the lantern and its close to the mantel but the htr throws a bit more heat.Just thought it would be better then digging for a match or a lighter when hands are cold...

Maybe i should pick up one of those grill igniters they are putting on them now anyway. Just looking to make it easier when really cold.

I don't think an extra lighter just for your heater is necessary. I have a single burner sunflower (Basically the same thing) - I just flick my Bic.

Mine's a tank mount, I hold the lighter at the bottom because the unlit propane seems to drop on it's way out. Light the lighter first, then open the gas. I always light outside too, to be safe.

I've been using a flint spark lighter used to light propane torches. I have yet to loose it and it sparks in any temperature (unlike butane lighters)

I use one of those cheap grill lighters. Ran out of fuel long ago but still makes all the spark needed.

What about the clicker push button on a grill or the buddy heaters? They sell the heater/ cooker available with one now for more money. If it was cheap enough that might work.

I carry a small box of camping water proof wood matches in my bibs pocket. In side a small plastic box so they don't get smashed. Matches light every time with one strike on the side of the box. Simple is always best for me.

I'm lazy, BIC lighter. Nothing like the scent of burned hair waifing throughout the porty.

I stuck on a strip of extra fine sand paper with double sided tape to the top of my propane tanks and I just use the old fashioned 'strike anywhere' stick matches. I tried the grill lighters but they'd always fail me when I needed them. Usually it would be too cold and the gas wouldn't flow. With the matches, I don't touch the head and it's always a go.
