MSR® Piezo Igniter for Canister Stoves

Fumbling for a lighter in the wind was always the worst part of camp cooking, so this button is a game-changer for me. It lights on the first click almost every time, and I love that I don't have to worry about a separate flame source getting lost in my pack.

Push-button ignition sounds gimmicky until you're fumbling in the wind with numb fingers—this one fires on the first click every time, and I've stopped carrying a lighter entirely. The compact size clips right onto the stove, so it's one less thing to lose in my pack.

Three years of backcountry trips and this little button has never once failed me—just push and the stove fires right up, no fumbling for a lighter in the wind. Totally worth the few bucks to ditch the matches.
