Looft Air Lighter 2 - Electric Charcoal Starter for Grills, Firepits & Smokers

Where has this been all my life? Lighting the fire has become super easy and quick now, getting up to temperature in minutes. It has the added benefit of warming the flue making the fire more efficient and drawing smoke away quickly. It is however a little larger than I expected, so storage could be a problem. Also I'd love to see it ship with a heatproof mat to rest it on while it cools down.

The good- Gets a bit hotter than the original for initial lighting (takes just a few seconds)- Powerful blower to fan the coals after lighting to spread the combustion (like "drawing" a coal fire)The less good (for me)- Original one had a better hanging clip (which is unique to where I store mine)- Original one blew hot air to fan the flames which works better with the weird charcoal I currently have.

Works really quick. Great clean way to light your charcoal on a Kamado Joe.

It works incredibly well, very powerful and gets the coals in my Kamado Joe alight in a minute. Major advantage over many other similar fire starters is not having to hold lock switches on with your fingers whilst using it and of course that it produces 760c temperature for a powerful start.My unit had some minor cosmetic marks on the heat shield so contacted Looft directly to inform them (they have no phone numbers so have to fill in a web form on their site). Replied within 2 hours and had dispatched a replacement shield which arrived within 2 days - that’s fantastic customer service.

lol. If i spent £20 on this and the thing melted on my second time using it I wouldn’t mind. But I spent £150. The end of it has totally melted! I want a refund on this

Makes starting the wood burner and fire pit so much easier. Good value for money, well made. Would recommend

Looft Air Lighter 2 is definitely bringing a whole new level to starting up a BBQ or a fireplace. This powerful electric lighter takes absolutely no time to get the fire going. This device reminds me a little bit of a more powerful version of a heat gun. Crank it up and wait around 30 seconds and you will start seeing a bit of smoke followed shortly by fire.The version I used is corded so you have to bare that in mind if you want to use it in the garden. You would definitely need a decent power extension lead that can deal with the power of the lighter.This isn't the smallest device but it is pretty sleek and easy to store. As the tip gets mega hot I leave it on the side of BBQ table on a tray to cool down away from our dogs being able to get to it.Overall this is a great tool if you will use it a lot. I've calculated that the amount of firelighters we buy over the summer for BBQs will pretty much pay for this electric lighter in one year. We do like a good BBQ though.Fantastic device, easy to use. The only star I took off is for the fact that when I received the lighter it looked as if someone's already used it ! The tip had a sign of it being on in the past.
