Looftlighter - Electric Barbeque & Stove Lighter

Product Information

It doesn’t matter if you’re lighting charcoal or wood, working in a grill or at a campsite or in your fireplace, this is a fire starting device that works both inside and out. Or, those who just prefer it old school, you can go the good old Char-Broil Electric Charcoal Starter. This unique design enables you to light the grill from as far as 20 inches away, all while keeping the propane canister safely upright.

One of our primary goals with the Looft Air Lighter was to eliminate the need for harmful chemicals like lighter fluid or propane. We feel that you'd have to stick the Looftlighter in mud to get those vents clogged, but better safe than sorry. PCMag is obsessed with culture and tech, offering smart, spirited coverage of the products and innovations that shape our connected lives and the digital trends that keep us talking. You don't even need to stick around until the job is done—the Grillbot will sound an alarm to let you know it's finished. Resting it on the stand will protect the heat shield from damage, and protect the surface it’s resting on from the heat.

With some imitators, or with a standard heat gun, your hand may be dangerously close to the fire or coals. By reducing the need for disposable fuel sources and hazardous chemicals, it contributes to a cleaner, greener planet. The least ideal is lighter fluid, which can be extremely dangerous and releases intense fumes into the air around you and into your food.

It does need an initial spark, and coaxing newspaper or kindling to life beneath one can take some time and effort, especially on a windy or wet day. It’s certainly not for everyone, but those who can afford this amazing tool will certainly appreciate its sleek design and convenience. Additionally, the coals light up effectively without the need for lighter fluid thanks to the inverted cone-shaped bottom.This bonding helped me to know more and more about to smoke, grill what always I share on SmokeGears. A pyramid of charcoal takes a little longer to light, since the heat has to spread outward instead of up the chimney. We found that each starter burns for about eight minutes, which is enough to get a charcoal chimney going but too quick to completely light a charcoal pile.
