Lighter! This item is an absolute - must - have for anyone who wants to BBQ in the uplands. With 9 1/8 inch barrels and a length of pull of 5 1/2 inches, the lighter weighs only 5.35 ounces. The balance point is just forward of the nose of the comb, which, oddly enough, suits the one handed shoot - from - the - hip style of operation the lighter was designed for.

In a strange quirk of Canadian gun law, the lighter is not considered a firearm, even though it emits real fire. Photons exit the muzzle at well in excess of 500 FPS. This is a good thing, as the overall length of the gun (15 1/8 inches) would make it restricted, and you could only BBQ at an approved range.

I think my example is defective, as the gun doubles every time you pull the hammer back. Yep, flames come out of both barrels simultaneously! Without even touching the triggers. Reloading is via butane in the butt.

Available at Hub Cigar in Edmonton, a sticker says the importer is "The Nut Man" in Calgary (I kid you not).

The lighter is pictured with a common 4 gauge shell to provide scale.

I work across the street from the Nut Man here in Cowtown and I have bought about 15 of these so far for friends and the like. They are awesome and have been amazingly well received by many people, including a wack of non-gun owners.

The Nut Man has been selling them like wildfire and is trying to keep them coming, but either way it is a good idea to buy one now before they are gone. They were having trouble originally getting them in because they look like firearms and Health Canada (who is apparently responsible for lighters in some non-sensical way) wouldn't let them in because they didn't have a safety on them of all things! Sounds more and more like the real thing :p Anyhow, they got them in because of a recent change in some law that put these things as 'luxury' lighters which don't need a safety.

The good thing is that when you click the hammer, it lights a flame in both barrels. And its refillable! There is a brown stocked and a red stocked version! Very fun. And I have been buying them for $10.00 down here, so the increase up in Edmonton must be because of shipping.
 
Damn... too late...

They are sold out and do not know if they are going to bring in any more because of the hassle.

I have offered to help out as I think these things are way too cool...

Sweet! These things are ultra cool.

Hey James, you lot should have a float in the Stampede Parade and be throwing them off like candy. Pass the coffee can around next time I am there and I'll put in an extra $100 for treats like that.
 
Yea... giving out lighters to kids at the parade... Hmmmm.... Maybe not.

But yes, they are pretty neat. The staff here have bought out 20 already and we just got them in.

We are selling them for the same price as Nutman: $15.99
