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?

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.

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!

  18. I believe a Sizzle plasma arc lighter offers significant advantages over traditional fire lighting methods. Firstly, the Sizzle plasma arc lighter doesn’t rely on fuel or combustible materials like matches or lighters, reducing environmental impact and eliminating the need to carry or dispose of flammable items.

  28. These SIZZLES are such a great invention. I like the long extension lighter, it would be perfect for our burn barrel in our backyard. I also like the survival sizzle, these would be perfect for backyard parties so you can get the fire going, even if it is windy out. The built in flashlight would help you find your way back to the camp sight or to the wood pile. With these SIZZLES being re-chargeable means less carbon footprint.

  46. I think the Sizzle plasma arc lighter is superior to my usual method of using matches to light are campfires because with matches the wind can blow them out and it usual takes a couple to light it.

  48. The Sizzle plasma arc lighter is without question superior to the method i currently use, because it is an all in one. Trying to hold a flashlight in your mouth while lighting a fire in the dark can be tricky!
