Have any of you tried the Soto pocket torch? They are coming out with one that extents too. They are nice, I have the standard one and love it.

Just got back from a weekend backpack trip. Buddy used a very fancy Primus stove that had a Piezo electric starter that worked every time.

Was hunting over the past weekend at 10,800' and the Jet-boil lit every time. I do have other sources to light it if needed. Never a problem......

Travis I don't think so, I don't see why it would make a difference when only the elevation changes. Would it help if I put it closer or something?

The elevation may be coincidental. Watch the arc when you're at the lower elevation and make sure it is going straight down, and into the area the fuel source comes out of. If it's arcing behind where it is supposed to, or to the side, it will be inconsistent.
Bend it around gently and you'll see what I mean. (That's what she said)

I've tried many different brands of hand held strikers. All work fine at home (4k feet) but won't work when camping at 6k or higher. I have yet to find one that works at high altitude. Does ANYONE make a good old reliable flint striker anymore other than the torch type striker? Those are too hard to get under a stove burner. Never tried it on a stove, but coleman makes a spark igniter I put on my lantern that does the trick.
