MSR Piezo 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.

It’s MSR so it works like it should

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.

Nice

Convenient, but failed after 3 uses and left me with no coffee. No spark comes out of it at all.

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.

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

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.
