Disclosed is apparatus for igniting combustible material fin a fireplace or the like. The apparatus includes a portable, self contained pressurized canister of a fuel such as propane or butane. A burner is secured to a grate or the like in the fireplace. A conduit extends from the canister to the burner for conveying the fuel and releasing the fuel through apertures in the burner adjacent the combustible material. The fuel is then ignited externally of the burner. The conduit is connected to the burner by a connector that is easily engaged or disengaged so that during periods of nonuse, the burner remains secured to the grate and the canister and conduit may be remotely stored. Preferably, the apparatus includes means for regulating the flow of the fuel and the mixture of the fuel with air prior to release of the air/fuel mixture from the burner.
