Who makes a good butane lighter?

[gsganzer]

I'm so tired of grabbing a Bick or Scripto butane lighter to light the fireplace, only to find the dang thing has plenty of fuel, but won't light worth a flip.

Who makes a good one? Preferably one that's refillable. I'd rather buy once cry once and have a quality lighter I don't have to cuss each time.

Maybe this one.....Amazon.com: Bernz-O-Matic ST22T Micro Flame Butane Torch Kit: Home Improvement we just use the propane torch at work.....

Not practical if you want to light a candle but great for the fireplace. It's made by Mr Torch. Tractor Supply had them on closeout for a couple bucks. I bought one and liked it so much I ran back and bought another for the camper.

I like these a lot but on cold days the butane pressure always gets lower and sometimes it won't light on the first click.

I’ve had good luck with gas station cigarette lighters. I’m not a smoker but I carry one all the time and they pretty much always work. I use a propane torch in the wood stove.

for the fireplace, burn barrel and the like I use a self lighting mapp gas torch. No sense in dealing with a little piddly flame off the lighter. Get it hot and get it lit.

Ding...ding...ding! I think we have a winner. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Perfect solution.

Not Butane but I like my Zippo... it fit's conveniently into my watch pocket so that it's always within reach as I'm kneeling down to light the stove, and stays lit while you set it down to reach for another pice of kindling. While not really windproof as claimed, it does work better than a butane when standing outside trying to warm your key up to thaw the lock so that you can get back into your truck. (Not quite so important, now that I have remotes for both trucks.) The drawback is that you need to fill it every few days whether you use it or not.

That was my gripe with the zippo and why I quite using it.
