>>642180>Why carry that when you can keep a small cannister of gasoline.Gas is messy, stinks and is dangerous while a propane torch can be tossed into a Rubbermaid bin and forgotten about until needed again and a propane torch does a quicker and better job of lighting a camp fire, as you can aim it right at the kindling instead of splashing gas around willy-nilly, which as often as not burns out in a couple of seconds without getting the fire lit.
The propane torch is also useful for lighting a charcoal chimney for grilling, smoking or cooking with a Dutch oven and is also the best method for getting a fire going in a fireplace or wood burning stove, as you can use the torch to get a column of warm air rising up the chimney before lighting the kindling, preventing smoke from flowing back into the living space.
