MSRPiezo Ignitor for Canister Stoves, Red

I'm brand new to using the PocketRocket camping/backpacking stove, so take my review from that perspective, as a new user to this type of camping stove.I was looking for a "lighter" that was convenient, small and packable to carry with the stove. This and the PocketRocket fit perfectly in the case.The lighter is a piezo electric "spark". No fuel in the lighter and no flame. It generates a spark with each push or "Click" of the button. Simply hold it where you light the stove, turn on the gas and click to light. Any downsides??? I suppose the only downside I can think of is you cannot use it where you might need an actual flame for something. It couldn't be better for lighting the stove in my opinion.

These igniters are a must-have on the trail. I bought one for my first big backpacking trip in Colorado, and it gave me peace of mind knowing I didn’t have to rely on a finicky lighter. I use it to light my MSR mini stove, and it works perfectly. It’s super lightweight and even fits inside a compact cook setup—no need to carry the bulky case if you’re trying to go ultralight. Just be sure to bring a backup, as always.

Works like it should, just wish it was an inch or so longer to stay out of the stove burner (and puff of flame) when lighting. I still buy it again if I needed another one.

Easy to ignite the burners on my old camping stove. Don't have to worry about the lighter running out of fluid

Item consistently produces a spark, and even occasionally lights up the stove. However result is random and unreliable. I cannot trust it at all. 1 star.

Got this for a lightweight backpacking trip. It doesn't provide much of a spark - you use it by holding it next to the butane stove and turning it on lightly. The piezo ligher sucks in a bit of the butane and uses that to provide the spark that lights the stove. So you have to hold it in close.But it works well, and very simply, without fuss

Worked perfect for me.Highly recommend if you have "MSR PocketRocket 2 Ultralight Camping and Backpacking Stove" !

The media could not be loaded. The spark is small and quick, I guess it has to catch just the fuel just right to ignite. Works best with the burner set to medium or low intensity, without wind.
