Lee, FWIW, I've always had the same issues with the round Magma's. Then years ago I switched to the Force 10 log type and never really had any issues. Then I went to the larger log (and actually gave the old one to Sam Densler) and never had issues with that either.
This year, with the new boat I popped for the bucks for the Magma Catalina and love it - and it hasn't blown out due to winds either. And, surprise, surprise, so far with numerous uses this past summer, the piezo igniter still works like a charm! Although I'm sure just by my saying so it will crap out the next time I go to the boat and try to use it......
