A gas igniter comprising a main body provided with a gas tank for storing liquified gas to be used as a fuel, a front pipe in the form of a hollow bar extending from the main body, a jetting nozzle for jetting out a gas, and a gas pipe connected between the main body and the jetting nozzle. The nozzle is disposed at a front part of the front pipe At least a part of the front pipe, excluding the front part thereof where the jetting nozzle is disposed, is formed by a flexible member having a restoring force whereby it is bent so that the direction in which the front part is pointed is changed, when an external force is applied, and is restored to the original state in which it is at the time when the external force is not applied, after the external force is released.
