"Best" outdoor lighter

  • The awesome MakerMoot is coming up (13-15th Nov 2026), Visit the TORM & ARM markets,and have space back at camp to work on projects and enjoy great company. PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I guess clippers are probably a bit better, as you can replace the flint and re-fuel them. Never felt the need to delve into the more expensive options though.

My ‘emergency’ lighter is a clipper. Useful as well as you can remove the flint and use it just for the spark.

Generally I have a zippo with a butane insert for the day to day.

Have BICs.

Also couple of Zengaz ZL-1 after seen them recommended by some on here.

ZL-4 look good, but couldn't find a seller, when looked around a while back.
 
I’ve got some Clippers and one with a mini extension on it that’s great for lightning candles and spirit stoves.
