I have a large single jet culinary torch that I use as a table top lighter when I'm home. It works really well, has an enormous fuel capacity, and stays lit without holding a button, at least until you cut off the gas flow. It also has alternate uses. I haven't yet used it for cooking, but it came in handy when I was melting lead for sweat fittings on some household plumbing. Also have a triple jet pocket torch, and a duel jet zippo insert that I use when I'm on the go. Both are good lighters, but the smaller fuel capacities will only let you light 2 or 3 sticks before you have to refill, maybe 1 or 2 if you're into big ring gauges.
