Lighters

Young Sam: Got your lighter? Dean pulls an old lighter out of his pocket. Dean: Woah, I haven't seen this thing in years. – Sam and Dean, 5.16 Dark Side Of The Moon

Sam and Dean have gone through their fair share of lighters and matches through the years. From igniting a corpse to lighting up a pine box six feet under, it's only practical for hunters like the Winchesters to carry a lighter in their pocket at all times. Not every lighter use fends off the Supernatural, of course, like setting off fireworks with your little brother, even if you burn the whole field down. The boys tend to use a flip top lighter. Though they sometimes use matches, they aren't always on hand, and Sam and Dean and their hunting buddies have taken to throwing their lighters into the graves, holy oil, or at the creatures if need be.

Episodes

Not every incident that could involve a lighter can be documented, but below is a list comprised of every time a character has pulled out or used a lighter for the viewers to witness.

Dean attempts to fend off a hoard off insects with a lighter and a can of bug spray. The flames do little to keep the bugs from attacking him, Sam, or Larry Pike and his family, who are only saved by the end of the curse at daybreak.

1.10 Asylum

Once Dean finds the corpse of old Dr Ellicott, he manages to salt the body and sprinkle lighter fluid before being attacked by the ghost of Ellicott himself. He manages to reach his lighter and throw it onto the corpse just in time and the ghost crumbles out of existence.

1.11 Scarecrow

Dean uses his lighter to light a torch, which Emily uses to burn the First Tree and kill the Pagan god that had been taking passersby as sacrifices.

===1.17 Hell House When their ultimate plan to kill the Tulpa goes wrong, Mordechai Murdoch attacks, choking Sam. Dean runs in and uses a spray bottle and lighter against the creature.

After the Tulpa lets go of Sam, Dean activates his plan B by throwing down his lighter and the two escape along with Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler as the house goes up in flames.
