This is what it boils down to, doesn't it. If a campfire is built properly I can light it with flint and steel. Using one of those extended butane lighters won't hurt but unless there are some adjustments to the build, its not going to help get the big logs burning quicker, and the end result will be the same anyway. The butane lighter can help if the build is missing some or has some poorly placed tinder and kindling.
