Extended Reach Gas Stove Ignition Lighter

The back burner finally lights without singeing your knuckles

The pot is on the far ring, the flame will not catch, and a short match means fingers right over the gas. You pick up this slim eighteen centimetre igniter instead, reach across, press the button and the burner lights while your hand stays well clear. The long body keeps the heat at arm's length.

It is a long reach kitchen lighter with a slim body finished in a wood grain print and a red metal ignition tip. The maker describes a shake and press ignition, and the matchstick shape slides into a drawer between uses. It is made for gas stoves and hard to reach burners, and it also lights candles, a fireplace or a grill.

Best for: Adults lighting a gas stove, a back burner, candles, a fireplace or a grill who want to keep their hand away from the flame. This is an adult utility lighter, not a toy.

Why It Works

A short lighter or a match puts your fingers right over the gas, and a back burner makes that worse. The length here is the whole point, it moves the flame away from your hand. The slim body stores flat, so it is there in the drawer when the front ring lights but the back one will not.

Quick Product Facts: long reach kitchen lighter; about 18 cm; slim matchstick shape; plastic body with a wood grain print; red metal ignition tip; maker describes a shake and press ignition; for gas stoves, candles, fireplace or grill; adult use only.

How It Fits Your Routine

It lives in the kitchen drawer next to the hob. When the back burner will not catch you reach across with it, light the ring and slide it back. It handles a birthday candle deep in a cake or a fireplace just as well.

Keep it out of the reach of children and away from the flame once a burner is lit. Store it flat in a drawer, tip clear of anything that could knock the button.

Treat it as you would any lighter, one adult, one flame, kept away from children and from anything that catches easily.
