A New Flame

After all those years when we had to light barbecues with short little lighters--or worse, matches--lighter makers are finally making them longer. ere’s one featuring a good 10 inches between your thumb and the flame. It’s refillable with cigar lighter butane. Best of all, with its continuous battery-powered ignition, the flame will never blow out.

Mr. Bar-B-Q refillable lighters, $17.99, at Barbeques Galore stores.
