Does this torch have a built in ignitor or do you have to light it with a match? Thanks!

No match necessary. You fill it with fluid then press the red button on the back to ignite it. There is a slide on the side to adjust the flames too

Yes, it should have flint included in the lighter. Mine did. I just added Zippo Lighter Fluid and had flame. If it doesn't spark, just unscrew the compartment and insert one flint. It should work.

The lanterns come with a wick....you need to provide a lighter to light it. Matches don't stay lit long enough to light it.

No, it doesn't have a piezo igniter but you can buy a universal type igniter that you can install yourself or use a butane lighter with a long neck designed for bbqs. I currently use a butane on mine but they do make handheld piezo lighters that don't use butane or other gas. I'm still doing some research on this but so far I'm not impressed with what's out there in terms of quality or price. A butane lighter does work great. There's a hole in the side where you can insert the lighter and I've found it easy enough. The upside is that not having an igniter means one less thing to go wrong.

No, you have to run it with a soldering tip. It i awesome for a soldering iron though. I don't recommend a butane torch if you plan on using it for plumbing or anything that requires a lot of heat, they usually won't get that hot.

Yes it does, my husband just lit off his butane cooks torch near it & it's piercing alarm sounded, works well. It is also set off by isopropyl alcohol fumes nearby, also using canned air near it.

I have been using it for months & haven't had trouble igniting it. I use it to make jewelry. With the tips off its a torch. You may be able to ignite with a lighter or striker, personally I would be afraid it would explode. I probably would get a new one if the auto igniter quit.

No. The instructions warn that it will start a fire. I got a beautiful torchiere from Verilux that only uses 70 watts of energy with an LED lamp that puts out 300 watts of light--it's awesome!

The only caveat is that it takes both hands to light, one to press the trigger and the other to pull down on the safety that is directly under the trigger. After several years of searching I finally found a similar torch with no safety, yay!! Since I use my torch several times a day that was an important feature, very annoying to have to do the "dance" while igniting the torch. Much simpler to just use my thumb to ignite the torch while the other hand holds or steadies another item.

It does not have a wick. Open the top, place a heat source (lighted match or lighter) in the container and the fuel will begin to burn. When done, just replace the cap and it snuffs out the flame.

No, there is a wax square that is attached to the framework. You light this wax square on fire with match or lighter. The wax will catch on fire. Just be careful to hold the lantern away from your body when you light the wax, as in our case on one of the lanterns the wax block actually fell off and dropped on my husband's chest.

to your question: Yes, it can be easily lit with stick type matches or a Grill type lighter. Somtimes the igniters crap out and its just as easy. Nice little heater-have 2 of them. Very efficient.

Hi. Has not happened on either count to me yet, but I only use the torch for emergency so not really a good example

It comes with a wick, you can light it with a match or lighter and you just blow it out like a candle. It is a very nice oil lamp

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!

Did you check to ensure there is no fouling of the ignition wire? This happened on my previous torch and I never could get the igniter clean enough to use again...so I ordered a new torch.

Hi Robert, the 58140 model does not have an ignitor. Can you tell me where you saw this advertised? I have checked our product listing and do not see where an ignitor is mentioned as being offered on this model.
