BRS-191A Electronic Igniter, 6.3 Inch - High-Performance Ignition System for Gas Stoves, Camping, and Outdoor Cooking - Durable, Reliable, and Easy to Use

I was camping a month ago and thought 'I want a piezoelectric ignitor to ignite my propane Coleman stove'. I searched Amazon and eventually found this--exactly what I wanted. It seems that the other option is the 'MSR ignitor' which is just too short and places your fingers too close to the flame. I am amazed that nobody else makes a product like this! The packaging is entirely in Chinese and it ships from China so it takes a while to arrive, but this is the product I wanted, so that is fine. I just went camping for a week and used it a few times at breakfast and dinner every day. Sometimes you had to press the button a few times for the spark to ignite the gas, but you need to do that with any ignitor (it does spark every time). I think this works exactly as it should and is the right design, so I am 100% happy with this.

This is a piece of junk! Don’t waste your money! It didn’t even spark, and literally fell apart in my hand the second time I triggered it!

This came with my stove I bought from BRS and I liked it so much I bought this for one of my camping compadres. He had all the gadgets, but not this. Stop burning your fingers and struggling to light your stove when it's windy. Buy this igniter!

A piezo electric igniter does not use batteries to produce a spark - but this one produces a very weak spark. Its major good point versus a MSR ignitor is that it has longer tube, which places your fingers further away from the stove's burner. I'll keep this in my truck camper as a back up to my usual method of igniting my stove. I doubt that this igniter would be durable enough for regular use. *For a propane or isobutane cook stove it takes a minimum of two or three clicks to ignite the burner - if the tip of the igniter is placed at one of the gas outlets. *If the stove uses Coleman Fuel, a.k.a. Naphtha, it will take multiple clicks to light the fuel. * This piezo electric lighter will not work with an alcohol stove. One last note, all of the package labeling - to include the instructions - are printed 100% in Chinese characters.

This little device creates a tiny spark when the piston is pushed abruptly by the thumb when held in place with the first two fingers of the same hand. Sometimes 2 or 3 such "snaps" are needed, and the tip must be held in the area of the gas flow to ignite it, but it usually works quickly. The paper insert description and operating instructions, such as the are, are entirely in Chinese.

Just a piezo sparker—does what it’s supposed to do. Spark is not the strongest I’ve seen, but it’s strong enough to light a gas burner. Reasonable value for the money.

Works great, very sturdy. Better than the other brand.

Spark is not hot enough to ignite my backpacking stove (MSR Reactor).

super util.
