You know my gas grill has been broken forever. I’ve had it for 6 years. The extreme heat, then cold winters do damage to those little contacts and it will no longer light on its own. It was battery powered too, pretty nice.

So now I use one of those long lighters. I flip on the gas and bend down real close to light the flame. Come to think of it, probably not the safest thing in the world to be doing. I still have my eyebrows though.

Here is a safer gas-less alternative that also just happens to be a cool little gadget. The Long-Reach Safety Igniter keeps you hands, and you head, far away from the flash points. A simple press of the button and a spark lights the flame. Perfect.
