The MSR Handheld Piezo Ignitor is a game - changer for lighting canister stoves. With just a push of a button, it can reliably ignite most canister stoves. Unlike stove - mounted igniters, the ignition element is safely tucked inside the igniter's tube. This design not only makes it far more reliable but also allows the tube to collect a small amount of gas, which significantly helps with ignition. Its un - mounted design and the recessed, protected ignition element offer top - notch durability and reliability. The tube around the element captures gas, ensuring consistent ignition every time. It's a versatile tool, suitable for most canister stoves, though it's not compatible with the Reactor stove or other radiant burners. It weighs a mere 13 grams, making it easy to carry around.
Using the MSR Handheld Piezo Ignitor is super easy. First, make sure your canister stove is set up properly. Then, simply press the button on the ignitor near the burner of the canister stove. You'll see it light up quickly. As for precautions, remember this ignitor is not for the Reactor stove or other radiant burners, so don't try to use it with them. When it comes to maintenance, keep it dry and clean. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. That way, your ignitor will serve you well for a long time.
