We have found over the 6 years we have owned ours that you cannot simmer with windows and door open otherwise, yes, it blows out.  Have gotten used to at least having the window by the stove shut if we are on simmer mode.

We use a butane lighter with a long nose.......a lot.

We use one of those trigger activated grill lighters. It has a short piece of the Velcro tape on it and hangs on the wall near the stove top.
