I'd like to quote bc.com's disclaimer:"*This piezo lighter may have trouble operating at altitudes above 8,000 feet." I borrowed this same lighter from a friend last summer & had lighting problems authenticating the aforementioned disclaimer. I've never had a piezo lighter work to it's intended purpose @ elevations above 8500 ft. Auto igniters on stoves don't seem to have this same problem, but lighters do. My suggestion is to purchase a half dozen disposable butane lighters & use them instead. I've never experienced any problems with them & they are A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE!!!
