I answered the same question before on a different thread.

Regular wooden matches are fine as long as you let it burn off for a few seconds. The same with Zippo lighters. HOWEVER, a torch is more practical because of it's performance, but I haven't been able to put my hands on my can of Lava Butane within the past two weeks or so, so I've been using regular wooden matches.

I too Amanda have used the kitchen stove before. Why not? A propane torch too!
