They work best if you hold the gas knob in about 30 seconds before pushing striker a few times. No it will not explode. Otherwise you can do the same with a match.

Check the wire to the piezo igniter. Those are good for thousands and thousands of ignitions. Otherwise use a lighter by the pilot light to start it.

check the gap between the electrode and ground surface. should be 1/8 inch. make sure spark is bright blue. can be lit with lighter stick. push handle infirmly and hold it. takes a bit to get gas to the element

Hi Beverly. No, it does not and frankly it does not throw a spark that great. I carry a striker with my fire steel so for me it's not that big of a deal. I've considered using a file or dremal tool to create a 90 degree spine for like an inch just for throwing sparks but I haven't done it. Ive read of many others that have.

Thanks for your inquiry. That would be a manufacturer question. It's possible to repair depending on the extent. To confirm we have reached out to the manufacturer.

didn't try it intentionally, but it does. I had inadvertently left it on P and tried to fire some long shots and it would get hung up on my settings. It fired in P, but my timing was too long... so, I moved it to Bulb.

7/5/2014 Good Day Rayn, You should STOP using this item, this is a fire hazard. You could be injured. Contact the seller you purchased this from, as common sense would dictate this is NOT how it should work and there is no fixing it. Sincerely, Customer Service Dept. JoyToyShop

I had a couple of them do that also. Never worked again correctly. Personally I wasn't happy with them.

I would assume it does not work on the new "striker" type LC9 that just came out. Otherwise it should be good. My LC9 is not the new type and it works great for me.

I have a few things, (shoes, chair) under the striker and it doesn't bother it. If you walk near the motion sensor then the light goes off however.

I have had no trouble. I know some people did. Have you contacted to manufacturer?

I had to scratch a lot of the coating off of the Flint striker to get a decent spark, however sparks are still not long lasting you need quick catching material to get a fire going, I used dryer lint, and have lit 3 fires.

Not after you learn the correct technique. I got a friend who had used this item to show me and have encountered no issues.

I have that model and worked for me! Listen, you have to do it carefully, but it works. It seems that you can screw up very easily. It didn't happen to me, though.

The new striker fired LC9S is enough different that this will not work. It does work with the current hammer fired LC9.

Yes - if you have problems call the company. They were very helpful with direct questions. There are also excellent YouTube segments on the controller.

Not intended for that,, but with some ingenuity anything is possible.. Best bet is to contact the mfr.
