Stuff is “Stoff” as in Brennstoff.
Fire-thing and burning-stuff.
Lighter is “Zünder“ in German.
Feuerzeug vs Zünder

Zünder is an igniter/detonator, Zündung is the ignition.
Zeug can be used as "thing", but it is frequently used when refearing to gear. So "Feuerzeug" is like "Firegear", "Werkzeug" is the "gear for working" (tools).
