$ 12.26
Our propane furnace pilot blew out when the heat had been off and there were extremely strong winds coming down the input and output vents from the roof. The cold air rushing out the provided hole to light the pilot blows out wooden matches that are attached to the wire extension that reaches the back of the furnace. In the past, it has taken up to half an hour to successfully get a flame to the pilot without the match blowing out.With the Camco lighter having the option of continuous electronic ignition, I lit the pilot on the first try, inserting the neck in the hole and then activating the lighter after it was in position over the pilot.I’m sure it would also be good for reaching under a camp fire lay to light the tinder, but have not tried that. Lighting wood stoves would be another use.For safety, both the top and bottom buttons plus a slide lock must be pressed at the same time to start the flame. Both top and bottom buttons can be twisted to lock against accidental pressing. Once lit, holding only the top button keeps the butane flowing. The bottom button can be released if continuous electronic ignition is not required.
