I can't light this! How do you light this? I may return this if it is so difficult to light!

Good luck on your return. Two of my three were completely empty and the one that had a small amount lasted less than a month with infrequent use. I'm actually surprised that Amazon has allowed this company to remain on their site. Anyway the company would not allow me to make a return as I was informed "it has been too long". I stated that I don't every open every product when purchasing more than one; their response.....no, may not return. They also went on to say that the return policy is stated on their site which it was NOT at the time of my purchase. The product is cheap and the company horrible to do business with.

At first it can be a bit tricky may take some practice since you have to push forward as you press down at the same time...and oh yes for comfort you may have to use one hand to hold the other hand...

I have the same issue with this lighter. I usually have to use both hands to light the lighter, flicking it several times before it ignites, sometimes and you have to squeeze the safety REAL hard. It sucks because I am used to one hand lighters.

Pretty much like all lighters of this kind. Once it's filled with "lighter fluid"... (butane)... simply pull the red "trigger" and the sparker should ignite the butane!

No problem lighting heater. Hold button down for about 10 seconds, release and depress button again. Residual gas from first press should help firing it right up.

I wish I could help you. I was very satisfied with the light and had no problems getting it to light up.

I don't know. I had a similar problem with mine and just returned it and got a new lighter

if you follow the instructions and still aren't able to get it right, I would return it. It may be a deffective item. Its a great lantern so the effort to exchange for a new one will be well worth it.

Try to return it. Don't keep it or try to use it. if it is defective, it could be fire hazard.

I did as well but finally got it. Try starting with the attaching the top poles first because you have to be able to pull the cord through the bottom before you turn the bottom completely.It took two of us but the lamp looks great.

I don't own this item anymore but I had the same problem with mine. It would eventually light. Try turning it on and shutting your propane tank off. When you turn the tank back on open the valve slowly. Wait a minute or so and then try lighting it again. Mine worked great when it was lit.

First of all; make sure you have a full tank...Next make sure all ports are open....You can also light the grill with a lighter or match. I have had no problems with mine.

I saw the same problem, and it refuse to light and all i smelled was gas coming out. Wrapped the gap with tin foil; lights on the first press of the piezo electric starter. If I need a better fuel/air ratio, I will poke a hole in the foil.

Do you have gas for it? A full new canister ? Is it connected correctly? Can you light it with a match?

Try bleeding ur water. Might have a air pocket? And check ur gas regulator it wont light if water or gas isnt right. There is no swith now just hole where one used to be. Hope that helps.

Press teh button down and hold it down. Wait for a few seconds then turn the knob (still holding it down) Click it a couple of times. I have three heaters. Two of them light easily. The thrid was is a problem. I have two of the 20000 BTU heaters and they are easy to light. I'llnever get a 10,000 BTU heater again Stick with the 20,000.

No! I would not recommend this heater. Very hard to light. Totally aggravating. Their quality control must be terrible or nonexistent, maybe both. I had problems with it from the start.

I only WISH I had your problem. My lighter no longer works. Something is wrong with the button to ignite it. Now I wish I hadn't given it such a glowing review...

I had the same issue. I learned to hold the dial at pilot for about 5 seconds and had to light the pilot area with a lighter. Once lit I slowly turn the dial to high and its ignites every time. I haven't had an issue since.. Hope this helps

I have had similar problems with mine. I have to play with the flame size adjustment on the bottom of the insert. I've also had issue with the insert not wanting to recharge it's butane. Over all I am unhappy with this lighter insert.
