MSR Piezo Ignitor for Canister Stoves, Red

I purchased this to use with my JetBoil backpacking stove on a recent hike on the Appalachian trail. Since I was using air travel I could not bring my usual cheap butane lighter and decided to give this a try. The biggest trick that I had to learn was that I had to ensure that I held the ignitor vertically so that the gas would rise into the opening where the spark will ignite the gas. It worked successfully each time I used it though it did sometimes take several clicks. My biggest complaint it the loop for a lanyard on the side was too small and it took some time to locate a strong but small cord that I could loop through it and hang around my neck when I wasn’t using or storing the ignitor. It’s small and would be very easy to misplace especially in the woods.
