Looftlighter - Electric Barbeque & Stove Lighter

Product Information

Within sixty-seconds, those coals are now lit, and the flame is spreading to the neighboring coals! Of course, you still have the rest of the grill to cover. So, use your Looftlighter to ignite the rest of the charcoal. Depending on the size of your grill, it maybe five or so minutes before you can start actually cooking. 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. Part of what makes it stand out from imitators on the market (there’s one that comes with free fire starters — that’s a red flag!!), is how far from the charcoal your hand is. The handy stand means you can keep the Looftlighter safely elevated, and you can hang it up too. The icing on the cake? The stand also doubles up as a bottle opener, making you the ultimate barbecue host, serving up drinks and delicious barbecue fare at the same time.

There are hundreds of ways to light a fire, but the cleanest way I know of is to do it with superheated air. Today we’re taking a deep dive into the battery-powered Looft Lighter X electric fire starter. I always heard that a looftlighter lasted about 2 days beyond their warranty. Plus you need a power cord. Give me a propane torch or oil and paper towels any day.

With a charcoal chimney starter this big, durability is often a point of concern. That is not so with the REDCAMP Chimney Starter. It is made of high-quality galvanized sheet that is heat resistant to guarantee long life. What’s more, the charcoal grate is zinc coated for added durability.I don't have a gas grill or a propane tank, and my egg is about 6 feet from an outlet, so the electric version seems reasonable.

If you want to get your barbecue up and running within minutes, get your hands on the Weber Rapidfire chimney starter model 7416. It will turn your charcoal into red-hot briquettes in no time. The narrow element is small enough to fit into the firebox well while the longer handle keeps your hand further away from the heat. It’s hard to imagine what could possibly gum them up, but just keep an eye on that. If it gets sooty, wipe it down with a damp cloth after the Looftlighter has thoroughly cooled. Even cheaper still, the HomeRight Electro-Torch Fire Starter has dual temperature buttons to heat up to an impressive 1500°F. This isn’t one of those gadgets that are so cool you have to own them even if they’re not especially useful. The Looftlighter is not only cool, but it also works like a charm.

Not only are chemical laden fire starters bad for your food and health, they’re not great for certain types of barbecues either, particularly kamados. Julie Laing, who tested the fire starters in this roundup, has been lighting her grill with Weber’s standard chimney for years. It holds up to 5 pounds of briquettes, which gives plenty of heat to grill an entire meal, from appetizer to dessert, or multiple rounds of corn on the cob. There is no denying that charcoal grills are big on flavor, but lighting them can be a real headache. Of course, you can use lighter fluid, but that can distort the taste of your food and even endanger your health.

Who is the Looft Lighter X for? This smell will give your food a burnt, chemical flavor, thus ruining your grilling experience.

It’s not as fancy as the more expensive options. But, the build quality is still very respectable and it lights lump in a similar 5 minute time frame. Place some paper in between the logs, then place the Looftlighter close to the paper and turn it on. The Looft Lighter X is so easy to use. It’s probably one of the easiest fire starter options I own, and I have quite a few here at the Lab. Start by blowing hot air from the Looftlighter up the chimney for around 30 seconds to get the draught going and reduce the amount of smoke released into your room once you’ve lit your fire.The Looftlighter also features an auto shut-off function, so the second you remove your finger from the button, it stops blowing hot air, so there’s no danger of dropping it on the ground while it’s still running. The Looftlighter feels good in the hand. It’s larger than you might think, but it’s not that heavy, and it’s well-balanced. To be honest, it reminds me of holding a lightsaber, and that’s not a bad thing. All in all, it feels solidly put together. Not every method of lighting charcoal is recommended, indeed some of them are counterproductive. Here are some things you should steer clear of.

Not just for barbecues, the Looftlighter also makes light work of lighting open fireplaces, wood burners and fire pits, perfect for cosy nights in or when you’re out and about in your motorhome.
