I've been using one of these refillable butane Bernz-O-Matic lighters for at least 6 or 7 years and I like it! While it won't light your charcoal, it will light your starter of choice. Amazon sells them for $10.99 BUT if you have a Menard's store nearby they have them on sale this week for $4.99. That was buried in Sunday's sale flyer on page 3 down in the galley.

    hmmmm, I just read the reviews on Amazon and it sounds like people either love it or hate it. Mine has always worked like a champ.

    Looks interesting. I just ran out of butane on my lighter after a year or two worth of use with my weed burner and Weber tailgating. Will probably pick up another Click n Flame for $1 at the dollar store. It's actually been super reliable for only a buck!

    you know over the years I have peed away more money on those cheapies than I want to admit. Some work fine and some I've thrown in the trash after the first use. That's what lead me to buy this Bernz-O-Matic and I recall I paid $14 for it, so when I saw it for $4.99 I'm picking one up as a back up this week.

    That's no good. I don't think I've had a bad one yet

    My dealer gave me a lime green Bic when I bought my Egg. It's going strong 16 months later. When it burns out, I'm going to file a warranty claim.

    Right!!! and besides that the un-mentioned feature to that lighter is the bottle opener on the end! I have often wondered just who and why it was added to a lighter! There has to be a story behind that!

    I had one of those. Worked great for years. Finally died after being dropped countless times. Haven't seen one in a store since then to buy one. Totally forgot about it.
