Burwells Bergman Ignite Electric Firelighter Firestarter Fire Starter 1200F (650C) Hot Air Lights Paper Kindling In 60 Seconds

Product Information

Over the years, I have experimented with various grilling accessories to enhance my grilling experience. Compatibility isn’t an issue either, as this electric firestarter works with plenty of top-named grills/smokers, including Big Green Egg, Char-Griller, Kamado, Royal Gourmet, and Weber. Unfortunately, at the end of its life, it started blowing the mains circuit-breaker (trip switch) so we bought a new one. The stand and hook have an integrated bottle opener which is just one detail that makes our product a pleasure to use. I bought an electric firelighter for my son for Christmas, having owned one at home and one at our holiday home for years and found them invaluable.

The Looftlighter 2 is the newest electric charcoal starter from the Looft family and can be used to ignite solid fuel such as charcoal and wood both inside and outside. Absolutely superb so clean and effortless – throw some ovals in the grate switch on and that’s it job’s a good ‘un! If the logs are dry kindling is not necessary although if you have some you will have a roaring fire in two minutes.

Here are the best electric firestarter options that can keep you focused on keeping the party going. I then put the paper and kindling in the stove, fire up the grenadier and within about 90 seconds the fire is roaring. We've had our original Looftlighter for a couple of years now and it has gotten a lot of use starting fires in our smokeless fire pits, pizza ovens, and kamado grills. No gas, chemicals, or dangerous lighter fluid are needed so it won’t ruin the flavor of your food or bring an unpleasant smell to your house. It doesn’t go out until the fire is well alight… a couple of minutes max and is completely reliable…so there’s no ‘will it or won’t it?

Maybe you're not trying to light a charcoal fire, but rather a wood fire pit or indoor wood-burning fireplace. The Grenadier also has an exceptional reliability record (many still in daily operation after 50 years plus! Lights the smokeless coal briquettes in our open fire in 5-10 minutes and lights the wood in our woodburner in seconds.We have just decided to treat ourselves to a new one having replaced various part of our extremely ancient one over the years (it was the Grenadier firelighter equivalent of Trigger’s broom!

I brought this in December, as not able to get the multi fuel stove to work with coke/smokeless fuel at all. A birthday present from my son – we have 2 log fires in the Languedoc France where fires are necessary when the wind blows from the Pyrenees. To use it, plug the power cord into an outlet and then touch the tip of the barrel to a piece of lump charcoal, briquette, or wood kindling. The Looftlighter is the fastest way in the world to start your charcoal grill, fireplace or even pizza oven. We are looking to make your grilling experience the best and what’s better than opening a cold one beside your grill?

Electricity has made it easier to create fire, but there are still several components necessary to make the magic happen. I now just place wood logs on bottom of grate cover them liberally with anthracite stick the Grenadier to it, 5 minutes it is well lit, and another 5 minutes with the heat off.
