Comparison Information

Long matches or ignition sticks work better than normal matches. The burner is large, and keeping your distance while lighting is recommended.

It may sound like common sense, but the metal surrounds near the flame do get very hot. Some users have mentioned this has caught them off guard, so be aware of this and don’t burn yourself!
