OP here... Guess what I learned today???
My lighter is butane and it did work good for testing alarm.
I thought those "Bic" type lighters were filled with lighter fluid!
I learn something new everyday.
See my previous post. Butane WILL work to test but the LP detector makers tell us to NOT use Butane based lighters to test a LP detector. Something about causing problems with the sensor's. Doug
Doug what post??? I would like to read it.

(Edit part)Doug Never mind...found it.
DO NOT USE A CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO TEST THE CO /
PROPANE GAS ALARM.
Butane gas may damage the sensors.DO NOT attempt to test the alarm by any other means than by using the
TEST/RESET button. DO NOT attempt to produce CO - to test the alarm.
The TEST/RESET button tests all functions of the alarm and is the ONLY
safe way to be sure the alarm is working properly.
The alarm may be tested at any time -The TEST/Mute switch is located on the front of the alarm Press and hold the test button for 1 second. The alarm is working properly if the GREEN indicator light changes color to RED and.......................
Thanks for pointing that out.
