I might have to try your idea for "sprucing up" a piezo ignition.

The pocket torch sounds cool although my Delta Windmill is also something of a torch. With the Windmill, the problem for me is altitude. It just won't work starting somewhere above 7000'. I'll drive back later in the day to a lower elevation, and everything will be fine. Frustrating since my Windmill is so much better than a Bic.
