Key Features

Safely and easily light your fuel with no chemicals
  • Quickly ignite fires and barbecues in a matter of seconds
  • Eliminates the chemical taste of lighter fluid or gas in your food
  • Safety casing is cool to the touch just seconds after unit is turned off
  • Versatile lighter can quickly ignite charcoal, briquettes, wood, hardwood, pellets and more
The Looftlighter is the perfect replacement for lighter fluid. The Looftlighter will ignite fires in a matter of seconds. When barbecuing, you can even use the Looftlighter to speed up the heating process of your coals so that your BBQ is ready for cooking in just a few minutes. The patented hot airstream process eliminates the chemical taste that infuses food on BBQs using lighter fluid and gas. The Looftlighter does not throw flames, but instead blows a hot airstream at 1256 degrees Fahrenheit. The Looftlighter is fully equipped with a safety casing that cools to the touch within a few seconds after use. To use, simply plug the Looftlighter into a wall socket, and touch the nose of the lighter to your wood or coals. In about 15 seconds sparks will appear. At this point, withdraw the Looftlighter by 3-6 inches and continue heating the same spot. Before you know it, you will have a roaring fire. The length of the power cord is approximately 10 feet. There is also an integrated bottle opener at the foot.

Yes

This is must for anyone who loves to grill. I have had mine for over 4 years and still works great. When this dies I will be investing in another one.

No good for wood

Bought this to ignite wood in my wood burning insert. Complete waste of time and money. Landfill bound.

Might as well be a magic wand

I have only had this lighter for a few weeks but it is so easy and so effective. I can get my bbq going within minutes and I can get it so hot that I can actually start cooking within 10 minutes if needed. Truly amazing

I would recommend it.

I use it to start lump charcoal in my Kamado Joe. It works fine, and but takes longer than I anticipated. I will be getting a chimney to fire up only one lump and then pack it.

Okay but not great

On new charcoal it takes awhile to ignite. Use a paper towel soaked with a little cooking oil embedded in the charcoal to speed things along.

Much better than matches and lighter fluid

Getting a consistent start of the grill had been a hit and miss endeavor. I took a chance after seeing a video on the Looflighter. I can now easily get 3 or more places started and burning in under 5 minutes and grilling faster than ever before with lighter cubes, fluid, matches.

It works, but...

Certain lump coals are easier to light with this tool than others. Nature Glo, BGE, Royal Oak, and Cowboy lump all light fairly easily. When going for a long cook and using the larger KJ brand lump, I don't even bother with this electric lighter...much faster to use the Weber starter cubes. Take a little patience and practice (lighting the edges of a lump coal works best), but once you have the hang of it, my experience has been you will have your fire going in about 5 to 8 minutes

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
