I'm not at home right now so I cannot give you a name but I picked my
torch up at the hardware store in the same place as the big bulky
plumber's torch. It looks identical to a torch I saw at Williams-Sonoma.
I've had it for 4 years now. It fills up with the same butane canisters
used for filling lighters.

I'm now in a place with an electric stove. Used to like lighting the thing
from the gas stove. Now I just use a BBQ lighter to light the thing.

Would be nice to have a flint or something built right in but I'm not
going to complain for something that cost me $5.
