Looftlighter - Electric Barbeque & Stove Lighter

Product Information

Kamado – These two were a hook up waiting to happen. As you can’t use lighter fluid in a Kamado, the Looft Lighter is its obvious match. 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. The Looft Lighter X comes with a 2-year warranty against defects. That’s a little disappointing, considering the Looft Lighter I comes with 3 years. It’s like an open admission that the X is more complex and hence more likely to have trouble. I wouldn’t call that a deal-breaker, but it’s something to note. The good news is, it’s a replacement warranty. Aside from the aluminum heat shield, the setting stand design is pretty revolutionary. It was originally made so that you can set your Looftlighter down on any surface after operations without damaging the surface with its super high heat.

Look for smaller pieces of charcoal near the center of your pile and touch the tip of the Looft Lighter X to them. If you’re lighting wood, touch the Looft Lighter X to any smaller pieces or kindling. Here’s our hands-on review of the new Looft Lighter X, the follow-up to the original Looftlighter, including pros, cons, full specs, and if we’re happy to recommend it. Fast-forward. Continue using the lighter for around 3-5 minutes on your charcoal or briquettes to get it grill-ready. The Looftlighter and Eggniter can both be often found on sales and discounts but those are subject to availability. Under regular conditions, the Eggniter is around 30% cheaper than the Looftlighter.

The original firelighter from the brand Looft created waves in the market when it first came out. To this day, it remains a worthy option for everyone who does not want to deal with charcoal starters and chimneys.

Now, you definitely don’t want to point a Looftlighter (since renamed Looft Lighter I) at your head. But you DO want to point it at your charcoal or kindling because it’s a darn efficient lighter and fun to use. You can even open a cold beer with the built-in opener to enjoy while you grill. Incidentally, you can also buy another battery from Looft. If you expect to spend long periods of time far away from electricity frequently, you might appreciate heading out with two charged batteries. And I definitely recommend buying the carrying case to protect your investment between uses. Summary of Pros and Cons Now once you point that heat toward a bed of coals, it will work pretty much like fire (even though there is none). Charcoal is mostly made of carbon and they are filled with chemical energy.Bottle opener. The Looftlighter features an integrated bottle opener in the stand – always ready to use. Finally, you cover the lit part with the rest of the charcoal until you have a bed ready to cook on.
