Does using zippo fuel to light a pipe with this lighter alter the taste of the tobacco in any way?

I haven't noticed the variance with mine, but I typically smoke sweeter tobacco so it might be masked in other flavors

No...I use Cherry Blend Tobacco and Zippo Fuel and there is no taste alteration. This is an excellent pipe lighter.Greg

Only slightly. The best way to light a pipe will always be with a wooden match.

the best fluid to use for a pipe is zippo premium lighter fluid. It doesn't leave any nasty taste or smell. It will not taint your tobacco with a fluid taste.

It can fill and kind of lighter requiring spray butane. If you have a traditional Zippo you will need liquid lighter fluid.

It uses liquid lighter fluid it is recommended to use zippo brand liquid lighter fluid but you can use Ronson lighter fluid to

Hi. Absolutely it can. The smoke is generated from lighting the end of the tube and is not effected by whether the grill is powered by charcoal or is electric. Feel free to contact us with any other questions at 888.272.7629.Mat Masters, Latin Touch

I use ronsonol or zippo fluid. I would worry BBQ fluid wouldn't burn as clean and leave a residue behind and gum up your lighter.

Sorry its took me this long to answer ur question. I used Zippo lighter fluid with mine. I don't think it really matters. I just grew up with Zippo bc that's what my Mother & Father used & that's what I could get @ the time of purchase. Zippo it's my #1 pick.

The first time that you light it the instructions tell you to put the suggested amount of fuel in twce. I am assuming this is because the first time it's filled the wicking keeps it all. I had the same problem the first time I used mine also. I intially added twelve hours worth of fuel and then when it wouldn't start I put it away and the next morning I added another 6 hours of fuel and it started after holding a lighter to it for only a few seconds. Since then it has worked perfectly and only needed the double fill when I first recieved it. I hope this helps. If not I would contact Zippo, I am sure they would help you out.

Not really because it uses the fan and burns wood at a very fast rate. Your food will taste like it's been cooked over a fire when you use the grill though. Nive light smokey taste

I don't know. What I do know is I put this in my Zippo. I let it sit there for a few months without really using it. And now it's empty. I can probably refill it. But, that experience was a major let down for me.

I used zippo butane as well and it broke. It's probably the lighters poor quality.

It's butane versus natural gas there. Cigar experts say not to use the stove because they put scents in natural gas so you smell leaks and that could affect the taste. The lighter is also easier to put in your pocket.

I don't smoke a pipe, but since I can't even light a cigarette with the stupid thing, I would stick with Zippo - or, a long kitchen match like my dad used.

I find it works best using chips in combination with some small chunks. The smoke seems to last longer that way.

You may want to check the temperature range of this unit and see if the probe can take the temperature of your smoker. If the range is within your specs and you are able to use the output to manipulate your smoker to increase or decrease the heat, sure why not.

Yes, the Zippo lighters are not air right so the fuel does evaporate a lot quicker. You can buy the liquid fuel pretty cheap so I just try to keep some handy. Even with having to refill often, it is still my favorite lighter for pipes.
