Lighters

With a lighter, you can ignite a campfire, start your camping stove or grill, and light candles, among other things. Since lighters are practically indispensable in many situations, they are part of the basic equipment of every outdoor and survival fan. But even in everyday life, it's never wrong to have a lighter with you.

If you want to get yourself an outdoor lighter, you've come to the right place at Meister Messer. In our online shop, you'll find high-quality storm lighters as well as powerful mini gas burners that work reliably even in bad weather.

What types of lighters are available?

Different types of lighters are offered in stores. In everyday life, ordinary friction wheel lighters and automatic lighters with a push button as well as piezo ignition are mostly used. However, as soon as it gets a little windy, the flame of such models constantly goes out. Therefore, outdoor enthusiasts usually resort to storm lighters.

The storm lighter was originally used by the military and typically operated with lighter fluid. Gas lighters produce a strong flame, which is also shielded from the wind by the lighter cap. The lighter flame only goes out when you close the cap. A true classic among gas-powered storm lighters is still the so-called Zippo, which has already been sold more than 600 million times.

However, there are also storm lighters designed as gas lighters. In most cases, these are so-called jet flame lighters, which are sometimes also referred to as hot jet storm lighters and work reliably even in strong drafts or rain. In the case of certain models, the air is already sucked in at the nozzle inlet and mixed with the lighter gas, creating a very hot flame.

Buy outdoor lighters: These variables you should consider

Do you wonder how to find your personal storm lighter test winner? First, you have to decide whether you prefer a storm lighter powered by gas or petrol. In bad weather and wind, gas lighters with jet flame have the advantage. On the other hand, a petrol-powered survival lighter is more suitable as an emergency light source, as the starter does not have to be pressed all the time.

Another important purchasing criterion is the size of the tank. The larger it is, the longer the burning time. In this context, the question also arises whether the lighter is refillable. For models designed for outdoor use, the tank can usually be refilled with gas or petrol once the fuel has been used up. However, even in everyday life, it is advisable to opt for refillable lighters in terms of sustainability.

You should also make sure that the lighter fits well in your hand and is easy to operate. This ensures that you can easily make a fire even at temperatures below freezing point - with cold hands - or in case of an injury. It is also advantageous if you can comfortably operate the lighter with gloves.
