I use one of those long lighters to light it (Butane, not propane) but I use the Benz-o-matic Propane "Match" to light campfires.. Does a great job.

Also, you know those new safe campfire rings that consist of a short length of conduit Inside a larger ring of conduit, with about 4" of concrete in between.. No way to lift them up and let air into the bottom of the fire.

I have a piece of exhaust pipe bent by Mr. Muffler to go over those things and shot air out along the bottom.

In the outside end is a small (1 or 1.5" (12 volt whisper fan (Small comptuer fan) .. Feed it 12vdc and air enteers the fire ring. Rather quickly.
