It fits on any bottle of canister fuel with a lindal valve as well as whatever connector the snow peak fuel has.

I predict Hambone will NOT like this. What can this do, that a single match in the hands of pro cannot?

Match? We're talkin' fire bow and tinder, primal ones!

(What in Christ's name do you need a torch to start a fire with? And since we're talking flaming, I'll put forth the thought that if the only way you can start a camp fire is with a torch, maybe you should just stay home and burn the ceramic logs in your push-button fireplace.)

=D> The iron plate that was installed at birth makes the best sparks. It just gets kinda scary when the giant magnet crane comes around while Gypsie is snoopin' around at the pick-n-pull.

I predict he'll become a convert when the torch and I arrive at the next RendezVW.
