Do you need to sterlize loop with butane torch?

This is probably a really dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway, just because I'm paranoid about contamination.
Do you actually need to use a butane blowtorch to sterlize your inoculation loop for innoculating agar? Or can you just do it like, on the stove? I don't wanna spend $50.

even a makeshift one with a cotton wick is better than a lighter.
Poke a hole in a jar and stuff some cotton through it and fill the jar with alchohol

go to the plumbing section at your local walmart. They should have a blue bernzomatic for $15 or so. They last a lot longer than hand torches IME.

Every torch I've bought was $20 or less. A stove works but you have no way to get it from your stove to your SAB or FH
