Generaly I use a butane lighter.

This may sound odd, but when they come with a ceder wrapper I like to light the wrapper and use it as a match. IDK why

Butane lighter, EverTorch to be specific. Torch for toasting and a soft flame to finish all in a classly looking package, the perfect lighter.

Inside or out of the wind - lit cedar strip, for me it is part of the relaxation.

Outside - any lighter will do.

Torch. I have a bunch of the cedar sleeves that I've been throwing in the desktop and cooler for ambience. I may throw a few in the Caddy to try lighting with at herfs.

Butane torch unless I'm lighting a 42 ring gauge or smaller then I will use a match.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned $100 bills yet. I find the crisp bills to generate too strong a flame, so I wrinkle them first.

Generally I use whatever is on hand. If I have all three: Ronson, Bic, than matches.
