Camping fire starter OPTIMUS 8018913 — 14 g, plastic and stainless steel, 70×25 mm, black/green/silver

OPTIMUS 8018913 is a compact camping fire starter designed to provide a reliable ignition source for outdoor cooking and emergency use. Made from plastic and stainless steel, this handheld piezo ignitor measures 70 × 25 mm and weighs 14 g, offering a lightweight solution that fits easily into pockets, panniers or survival kits. The unit is available in black, green and silver and includes a lanyard for convenient carry.

Advantages

The piezoelectric mechanism produces sparks at the push of a button, eliminating the need for fuel or flint maintenance and enabling consistent ignition in a variety of conditions. Its ergonomic grip and compact size allow precise positioning near stove burners or gas outlets, while the stainless steel components increase resistance to wear and corrosion. Gas intake holes at the tip are designed to direct gas flow for safer and more reliable lighting. The low weight and included lanyard make it suitable for backpacking and emergency kits where minimizing bulk is important.

Suitable for

• Igniting canister and liquid fuel camping stoves
• Use with portable gas burners during camping and hiking
• Emergency and survival kits where a compact ignitor is required
• Backpacking, bikepacking and lightweight travel where every gram counts

How to use

Position the ignitor tip near the stove burner or gas outlet, keeping a safe distance from open flames and moving parts.

For stove models with concentrated gas jets, align the gas intake holes at the tip toward the jet to facilitate ignition. After use, allow the tip to cool if exposed to heat and store the unit on its lanyard or in a protective pocket to avoid contact with abrasive items.

Usage recommendations

Use the OPTIMUS piezo ignitor only for lighting stoves and controlled gas sources. Do not expose the housing to direct flame for extended periods. Keep out of reach of children. Inspect the tip periodically for damage or residue and avoid using the ignitor in extreme weather if visibility or control is compromised.
