Why doesn't the flame ignite? I keep clicking it to go on but to no avail. I know there's butane in it. What am I doing wrong?

I have had four and use them to light cigars. If they are cold they do not work very well and they are not good for too many uses. I guess that's why they are not that expensive.

I had the same issue, on the bottom where you put the Butane in (there should be another tube around it) you'll see that it has indents, use something small like a flathead screwdriver and twist it to the left increasing the power of the lighter and it should work.

Butane goes in the bottom - centeronce filled open the black top and push down on the button - flame

I bought two of these and one worked fine and the other had the same problem you have. Couldn't figure out how to exchange it either.

If it's sizzling its lighted. There is no flame. Open the gas valve at the bottom end of it en press the trigger

Light you warmer in the dark you will see it start to glow. and use a butane lighter if you have one. It takes longer than 10 seconds.

You didn't buy it from me, but perhaps on my recommendation. My igniter has been fine, but if you look at others reviews suggest many have igniter issues like yours. Just like them, you can use a lighter, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

hold the lighter to the wick for a short time. there is no flame nor is there a red glow. it will start warming up fairly quickly. if it doesn't, make sure you filled it enough and then hold a lighter under the wick longer. Also put the top back on so you can feel if it is heating up.

You have to press the key for a long time to let the gas come through.. Gas is low pressure and it may take 2 mins to get to the heater. press and hold for sometime then hit the ignite switch. Good luck!

I apologize but I have to ask the obvious just to rule it out - did you refill the tank completely and did you use the same brand of butane? I had a lot of trouble with my torch when I switched butane brands without first draining my tank. If so, I recommend contacting Blazer through their website. They are quick to respond and very helpful.

Make sure you put a good amount of fuel in first. After that hold the flame on it for about 10 seconds. If it still doesn't light, check to make sure it's still damp on the inside and try again. Note, that its not going to be a visible flame but you might see it glow orange sometimes and only put what you need for that specific time and don't fill it expecting to use it later or in a couple of days, I tried this and learned quick that its not like there lighters. So soon after filling it, it needs to be lit otherwise it won't light up.

You are running it a bit too low....try a little higher setting until it stays litThe temp control is not an exact science...there is a thermal senser ( safety device ) that extends into the flame, it will shut the gas off if it does not sense enough heat....so if you run at too low a setting the flame is not hot enough and the senser shuts off the gas...pain in the ........but it works.

Truthfully- I loved this purchase. as far as the fumes-check to make sure your connections are tight. Blue flame is common with propane. Also- instructions state unit should run a minute or two after propane is cut off to eliminate the problem you listed.

Turn the gas on to the first stop. Listen for gas flow from the burner and count out 15 sec. Then hit the ignighter. You should hear the click from the burner area and it will light. Is not, let gass vent for 5 min then sweep glass / rocks away from ignighter area and check that it is sparking. If it is repeat above. The gass need to build up just a little to ignight, so do not have your face over the burner area. Also watch out the first time you heat it up as the will crack along faults as it heats up.

Problem could be very, but check the ignitor to see if it is too close to the burner and did not make enough spark, the other thing to check is to make sure the wire is ground, otherwise it will not spark.

you must purchase a can of Butane fuel, I got mine at Wal-mart (Ronson /muti-fill). There is a small hole at the bottom of the mt3001, once located just press the small end of the fuel on the little port hole and the filling will start. If the fuel spray out, you may have a bad mt3001 of the wrong size filler on the fuel can. Hope this help.

not sure why your unit doesn't fire...have you checked the igniter? Mine only refused fire once because I wasn't releasing the igniter correctly...I used a long nosed gas grill lighter that day...then I figured out to push and release the igniter correctly and have not had any problems since Really do like this gas grill!!

Hi Michael: That is not normal. I'd see about getting a replacement. Mine ignites very quickly and well.

I purchased the same heater last year and had the same problem. It looked like the gas wasn't blowing up on the spark close enough to get it ignited. I had to lean down and lightly blow between the spark and the end where the gas comes out. That got it lit.
