74% found it easy to use, while 26% experienced difficulties
I like this stove because it is lightweight and does not get used up during my multi-week trips.
This product is better than dealing with wet matches.
It may take some experimentation to find the right formula for lighting the stove with as few strikes as possible.
I had to learn a trick to use this ignitor - I hold it vertically so that the gas rises into the opening where the spark ignites it.
63% praised the flame control, while 37% struggled
I found a solution to the issue of the igniter not working with the MSR Windburner stove by pointing it directly at the bright spots on the stove, resulting in the fire starting 10 out of 10 times.
I have to carry matches and lighters in my pack to use the stove as it does not work.
75% liked the portable design, while 25% thought it was bulky
When damp, the stove works well, which is a big plus.
I like the stove because it is lightweight and does not get used up during my multi-week trips.
I bought the product to light a backpacking stove, but it did not work as expected, with most of the pushes not producing a spark.
66% appreciated the wind resistance, but 34% experienced issues
I tested the igniter in windless conditions at 54F and found it effective.
I have noticed that the stove is not wind resistant and cannot work in winds of more than 1mph.
