    All, A note of caution. The auto ignition devices are great for
    larger torches but you must use care when lighting the Smith (or
    other brands) Little Torch.  The torch tip is so short that you must
    build up a cloud of gas around the igniter before it will light. 
    Result....you can get a fairly large flame and, if there is any draft
    around, the cloud may extend away from the igniter.  We use the
    electronic igniters at the school shop where we use Smith acetylene
    single gas torches.  In my own shop, I normally use the Little Torch
    and find it more convenient to light it with the venerable BIC! 
    Anyone have a better alternative?
