If you’re like me and love the outdoors and love technology then the Sizzle lighter is perfect for you. I flipped when these first arrived at my desk to send for a review and to run a contest. The reviews are done and now you have a chance to win one of these amazing lighters. Learn why I love these and why you might too, then follow the instructions to enter for a chance to win one.

Sizzle lighters: make fire anytime without fuel or fuss

A Sizzle arc lighter is aptly named: press the button and it does just that … sizzles. That sizzle is a very hot plasma generated by electricity. You only need to charge it with the included USB cable and it will light your fire for weeks. But don’t touch that sizzling arc; it’s very hot. And it lights with the push of a button no matter where you are.

That’s what makes these lighters so coveted by outdoor enthusiasts. Get it wet—it works. Even in intense winds, it works. Take it on your multi-day hiking adventure and know you will be able to light a fire when you need to. No more striking matches one after another to no avail. No more flicking that bic lighter until your finger blisters. One simple push and you have fire.

Do you know which Sizzle is best for your needs

We sent a selection of these lighters to our trusted writers to get their honest opinion. Read their reviews to learn more about how they work, and about the different types of Sizzle lighters available. Some of them are very great for barbecues. I think the long extension lighter is perfect for burn barrels or burn piles like on a farm or large property. The survival sizzles with built in flashlight is perfect for camping and hiking.

We are giving away the complete range of these. Which one is your perfect fire starter?

How to enter

Entering this contest will be fun and you can enter in three different ways:

  1. In a comment below: tell us why you think a Sizzle plasma arc lighter is superior to the method you usually use for lighting a fire.
  2. In a comment below Andy’s review article, tell us which style of Sizzle is perfect for you (you can choose more than one!) and why.
  3. Social post: For two additional entries, create a public post on a social media channel sharing with your friends and followers that you are entering a Best Buy blog contest to win a plasma arc lighter. Let your friends know which lighter you are hoping to win and include the hashtag #SizzleBestBuyContest, so we can find your post, and include a picture from this contest page. Then return here and tell us in a comment below on which channel you posted it and the name of your channel (since many people use pseudonyms) so that we can check and verify your entry. You can use any social media channel (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Thread, LinkedIn, etc.), but the post must be public so we can verify it is there.

What you can win

At the end of the contest, we will randomly select seven winners from all eligible entries. Each winner will be randomly assigned to one of seven different Sizzle lighters as shown at the top of this contest article.

This contest runs from Aug 2nd to Aug 17th.

Remember you can enter up to four times as mentioned above. Fire is dangerous and must be used responsibly, especially outdoors. It’s also necessary in many situations, like when cooking outdoors, and it can be dangerous to be without it sometimes too. Sizzle plasma arc lighters may save the day. Or it may just be how your warm your home if, like me, you use only a wood stove for heat in the winter!

  3. It is unbelievable how much we have gone through to keep matches and lighters dry on a camping trip. This would be ideal. And no fuel? That’s amazing

  4. Remember the last time your cold lighter wouldn’t start? Remember the last time your wet lighter wouldn’t start? Remember the last time the wind kept you from starting your fire? Yeah thats why I need the Sizzle!!

  16. I usually use a Bic but the flame from it can’t compete with the wind. The Sizzle will solve my porblem.

  24. sounds so much easier than lighting my normal lighter, which is hit and miss if it’ll work.

  29. I am old school, give me a Zippo and I am good to go. However I like new technology and would find the new concept intriguing, especially in damp and windy conditions.

  31. This is sick! who would not want a plasma lighter that doesn’t use any fuels like those cheap butane ones.

  32. Sizzle plasma arc lighter is superior to the method that I use for lighting a fire because I would no longer need to purchase fuel

  34. As others have said, it works in the wind. Normal lighters can sometimes be brutal in my area with how windy it is.

  45. Sizzle plasma arc lighter is superior because it’s powered by electricity and can easily be stored like a power bank!

  46. Wind is always an issue when trying to start a fire. Sounds like the Arc Lighter works even in windy situations. Also won’t have to worry about refilling fuel which is better than traditional lighters.

  47. This is so much safer than the usual ways that we get a fire going… No issues with it going out in the wind.

  49. My butane lighter always blows out with a wind when I light the barbecue and the sizzle won’t.
