American-Made Lighters & Fire Starting

Few products are as iconically American as a windproof lighter, and this collection keeps the flame burning with USA-made lighters and fire-starting gear — tools built to be refilled and repaired rather than tossed.
At the center is Zippo (Bradford, Pennsylvania, since 1932), whose windproof metal lighter is made entirely in the USA and backed by a lifetime guarantee: if it ever fails mechanically, Zippo fixes it free. Alongside the lighters you'll find American-made fire-starting essentials for the campsite, grill and emergency kit.
Look for refillable, repairable designs and a stated country of origin. The core items here are American-made.
