Electric Charcoal Fire Starter Lighter – BBQ Grill Starter for Fireplace Campfires Coal Quick Ignite Briquettes |No Sparks or Flames | 304 Stainless Steel Coils Elements 5ft Long Cable Cord 700W

It does a fine job getting a good sized footprint of lump charcoal going in a short amount of time.Compared to those wax/oil impregnated cardboard squares, this works faster and is easier. The cardboard squares sometimes get smothered by positioning the coals during fire building or burn out before coals are going.Compared to my grill blazer torch thing, maybe not as fast to get the coals going but each time I need to use the grill blazer, I have to retrieve it from storage and connect it to a 20lb propane tank. It is a PITA to connect and grill blazer discourages leaving it connected. I do not leave it laying around exposed to elements for how much it costs and fear damage so don’t just chuck it with all the other grill stuff you accumulate when you have 4 different Kamado Joe grills.Ever since I got the electric starter, I haven’t used any other method of starting the coals. It is easy and cheap.The one irritating thing is the length of the cord. IMO, it is way too short for probably a majority of users as who is going to have an outlet within 4 feet of a charcoal grill? You will likely need an extension cord.

Great price and heats up very quickly!! Would like to see a longer cord as an available option but item works great!

This item is about the only thing you should use to start your Egg BBQ DONT USE LIGHTER FLUID ot ruins the EGG. This is the cheapest iv found. Enjoy

This product makes starting a bbq grill with an ease. Fast starter with no hassle or issues of requiring lighter fluid. For all bbq people who love to use a grill without propane, this is a must have product to making grilling easy.

works great, but the handle gets so hot you have to pick it up by the chord
