Some may think it is overkill, but as long as you clean all the glow fuel off, they can be reused many times, so is very cheap insurance.

BTW - I only use the ones Sig Mfg. sells. Order on-line, or most good hobby stores have them. The ones from the big box office stores barely last one days flying session before breaking.
