Has anyone used one of these while hunting? My wife got me one for my birthday this year and I want to use it, but I remember from the years that I smoked that a zippo has a distinctive smell to it when it's lit. Any opinions?

Thanks!!!

Never used one, but don't think that the smell (if it has one) is going to be any more damaging to your hunt than human odor.

Yeah, if anybody has one i would like to know also. I have one but have yet to use it.

The thermocell also works as a hand warmer and it doubles as flying bug eliminator.

I have one, still in its original red cloth pouch, used it many, many years hunting in the North...
Put it inside a handwarmer muff which was around my waist..kept my hands nice and toasty on stand
during those extreme cold hunts...
Never had a issue with sent runnin off game...
Funny you brought this up, just found mine a couple days ago while diggin thru totes of hunting gear,,
my wife saw it and thought it was a giant cigarette lighter....

brother in law used to use one.....

fell asleep in the blind with the bag / warmer on his chest....

they are nice to have.... but they do get hot.
