Lighter Zippo 240 Windproof Metal Design, brand Zippo, model 240

Zippo 240 Windproof Metal Design is a refillable metal lighter engineered for reliable ignition in windy conditions. It retains the classic Zippo construction with a hinged lid, metal case and flint-and-fuel ignition system. The compact form factor and durable metal body make it suitable for everyday carry and outdoor activities where a consistent flame is required.

Advantages

The lighter combines windproof performance with a robust metal housing and a proven refillable mechanism, allowing repeated use with replaceable flints and fuel. Its hinged top protects the ignition area when closed and enables one-handed opening. The design requires minimal maintenance: periodic refilling of lighter fluid and occasional flint replacement are the primary upkeep tasks. The neutral, metal finish resists light wear and supports long service life under normal conditions.

Suitable for

• Camping and outdoor cooking where wind resistance is important
• Everyday carry for lighting candles, stoves or small fires
• Use in workshops or garages for tasks requiring a reliable open flame
• Collecting or as a durable, reusable lighter for regular smokers

Key specifications

• Windproof ignition design for use in breezy conditions
• Metal construction with a hinged lid for protection and durability
• Refillable fuel system using lighter fluid
• Flint-based ignition mechanism with replaceable flints
• Compact, pocket-friendly dimensions and one-handed operation

How to use

Open the hinged lid, strike the flint wheel to produce a spark and adjust the flame by the amount of fuel in the cotton reservoir. To refill, remove the inner lighter unit from the case, lift the felt pad or access point, and add an appropriate lighter fluid until saturated; reassemble carefully and wipe away excess fluid. Replace the flint when sparking becomes weak; unscrew the flint spring, remove any remaining flint residue, insert a new flint and re-secure the spring. Always operate the lighter away from open containers of fuel and avoid overfilling.

Usage recommendations

For safe and consistent performance, use genuine lighter fluid and Zippo-compatible replacement flints. Store the lighter away from direct heat and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Perform routine checks of the flint and fuel level before extended outdoor use.
