Dude...I use a Z-Plus insert in a Zippo. Toast the foot then a slight purge, wait 30 seconds, enjoy... :thumbs: In a pinch, it's matches or a Bic (the only pinch being running out of fuel). Just don't rush it.

I just got harassed by my wife for buying a torch lighter just after she bought me a custom engraved Zippo. This would have been ideal!!!
I too think the new Zippo lighter fluid is great. I remember the smell of the fluid as a kid and this doesn't have any smell or taste.
That reminds me of a cool story...
As a kid I thought I would experiment with my dad's zippo and stick it in the freezer to see how long it would take to run out of O2 and put out the flame. I forgot there's a blower in the freezer. Let's just say the freezer started on fire, I melted my fingers trying to pick the zippo up, and it melted a hole in the linoleum floor when I dropped it. I think I recall my dad just shaking his head and laughing when I told him about it.
Long story short...I use a torch lighter now, and I'm done experimenting.
