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.

Great approach !

This product is safe in that it does not get too hot during operations. It is clean, with no open flame. No liquids. And you do not have to transfer any burning coals, which is an added "safety" factor. You do have to be patient while lighting the coals; but that said, using this product still takes less time and effort than taking the "paper/chimney" approach.

Bought mine and two for gifts

Just got my Looflighter this week, first challenge was lighting the wood for my wood burning pizza oven. First time, use my fire was up and burning well within 4 minutes. The next day used it on my Weber Kettle to smoke a pork shoulder. I ring the charcoal around the grill and light the end of the ring. Charcoal was hot and meat on the grill in about 10 minutes. Buying two for gifts for individuals who burn wood fireplaces.

Looflighter is a game changer

My biggest criticism of charcoal grilling has always been the lighting time: want to eat at hamburgers at 7:00 p.m., light the grill at 6:00 p.m. and pray the coals don't go out. No longer! Light a couple spots in the charcoal, and you're at 500F in 20 minutes. I don't even need my gas grill anymore... just gave it away to charity.

Great Product

I've used the Looftlighter for about eight months now . It lights the charcole in about three minutes and I'm grilling or roasting in ten to fifteen minutes. I bought the Looftlighter to use with my Kamado Grill, I haven't used my Webber gas grill since, I so I gave it to my son in law. Looftlighter makes lighting charcole a doddle. Highly recommend it.

Looftlighter

My son has one and uses this with his Green Egg, I just got an Egg and starter myself and can't wait to start smoking. Biggest pain is starting the coals, this product solves that problem. Coals heat in minutes, no fumes or mess, just instant heat. Finally something that takes the one pain out of grilling!! A must product!!

It's actually FUN to light your charcoal now ;-)

One of the very few products I've purchased that does EXACTLY what it claims. It'll start hardwood lump charcoal or Kingsford in minutes. This is a well-made device that has a manufacturers two year warranty. I emailed Looftlighter with additional questions and imagine my surprise when I received a reply from the Inventor, Founder, and CEO (yes, there IS a Richard Looft!) Whether you own a Napoleon charcoal grill as I do, or a Kamado Egg, this will take care of your charcoal lighting needs.

Best starter ever

Since using the Looftlighter i will never use another method. I have a Green Egg and I tried everthing to make lighting the wood bricks. I used electric, blocks, cages, i tried it all until i got the Looftlighter. Now I spend three to four min and my fire is roaring. If anything happens to the one i have i will buy anohter as fast as i can. Expensive but well worth the money.

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.
