A hand-held torch-style lighter is in electrical communication with a timer capable of alerting a user to the length of time a lighter has been on. A waring alarm will activate if the lighter has been active for more than two minutes (2 min.).

A gas lighter for passing a flame from a first fire source to a second fire source including a gas fuel supply system to create a flame, a timer to regulate a time duration of the flame, and an actuation lever to activate the gas fuel supply system and the timer mechanism.

The present disclosure relates to a flame producing assembly (1) comprising a main body (10) having a proximal end (12) and a distal end (14). The flame producing assembly (1) is configured to produce a flame at the proximal end (12). The flame producing assembly (1) further comprises a flame signal trigger (20), counting electronics (30), a flame indicator (40) and a power supply (50). The flame signal trigger (20) is configured to generate an electrical signal when a flame is currently produced by the flame producing assembly (1). The counting electronics (30) is configured to calculate a number of flames and/or use time of flames produced by the flame producing assembly (1). The flame indicator (40) is configured to output visual feedback indicative of a number of flames and/or use time of flames produced or producible by the flame producing assembly (1).
