Looftlighter - Electric Barbeque & Stove Lighter

Product Information

The length of the Looftlighter allows you to light charcoal (or wood) without gloves on. With some imitators, or with a standard heat gun, your hand may be dangerously close to the fire or coals. So American and Canadian users might be fine but if you are a resident of the rest of the world where 220V is more common, you might want to look elsewhere as none of these products have a 220V version.

Eggniter Fire Starter In Detail With a charcoal chimney starter, you light it first and then place it where you need it, and that can be a messy, spark-filled job. Resting it on the stand will protect the heat shield from damage, and protect the surface it’s resting on from the heat. You can also use it for hanging the Looftlighter off the side of your grill or from a hook. So, with that in mind, let’s jump into my review of the Looft Lighter X. I’ll cover all the specs you need to know, share my thoughts on how it performs, some pros and cons, and my opinion on who it’s best for if anyone, and whether it’s worth the money.Results will vary, but you can expect to start 3 or 4 charcoal or wood fires on a full battery. Of course, this will really depend on what you’re lighting and how difficult it is to ignite. CLEAN – With the Looft Lighter X there’s no CO2 emissions and no toxic chemicals. Lighter fluid is, therefore, a distant smelly memory. Key Features Neither uses any kind of flammable gas or chemical. It’s all just electricity turning into heat with air as its vessel. Fast! Its the fastest way to start your charcoal grill, fireplace or pizza oven. You’re fired up within 60 seconds! When holding the handle of the Looft Lighter X, the power button is on the underside of the handle, where your index finger is likely resting. Hold that button down for a few seconds until the buttons light up. Position the Looft Lighter X heating element and activate burn mode.

No. It is not allowed to open up the lighter for repair or modification due to our safety standards. If your lighter is broken, please refer to our warranty claim procedures. As you might understand by now, these two products are such close competitors only because they have so many similarities. But if you really want to know the exact similarities explicitly, this section is for you. It is somewhat large. If you think about how small a gas lighter and a few lighter cubes are compared to this, it rather takes away from it being ‘portable.’ I love that the Looft Lighter X stands vertically, making it simple to set down after use without worrying about it accidentally brushing up against something flammable and starting an unintended fire. In my opinion this is a huge improvement from the original Looft Lighter X because I was always leary about setting that down while it was hot.With the Looftlighter, you light a fire in 60 seconds. You can then leave the charcoal to get ready on its own (takes approximately 20 minutes) or you can continue using the lighter and fast-forward the process, which makes the fire ready in 4-5 minutes depending on the quality of the charcoal. For myself, the main reason to own a Looft Lighter is to start my charcoal burning in a kettle grill, hibachi, or kamado. If it works as advertised, it should be much easier and faster than lighting starter cubes with long matches or a butane lighter and less toxic and food-destroying than soaking everything in lighter fluid. It’s important to understand that the Looftlighter is a faster, fuel-free way to start a charcoal fire. You won’t be ready to cook in 60 seconds — you still have to wait for enough charcoal to ignite for you to cook over. Blow hot air into charcoal until they are lit. So no matter which brand you choose you are going to get a similar experience in terms of coal lighting time. Looking at the Eggniter, you might think this is just another Looftlighter that has been repainted to match the Big Green Egg aesthetic. You could not be more wrong. What really sets the Eggniter apart is the fan mode.
