Key Features

Reduces the start time of charcoal grills to less than 10 minutes
  • High powered fan blows low velocity, cool air to ignite coals without blowing ash
  • Spring-loaded clamp and flexible neck allows you to position the Dragon anywhere you want
  • Variable speed motor allows you to control the airflow
  • Includes a micro-USB port for charging with optional AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries

The BBQ Dragon is a simple and yet revolutionary fire-starting tool that reduces the start up time of charcoal grills to less than ten minutes. Use it on practically anything: charcoal grills, fire pits, fireplaces, wood stoves, smokers or even campfires. It works by blowing large amounts of low-velocity, cool air at the fire without blowing ash everywhere. Simply attach the BBQ Dragon using the heavy-duty spring-load clamp, turn it on, and the coals will quickly start to glow. The long, adjustable stainless steel neck allows you to position the BBQ Dragon to provide air wherever you need it. The variable speed motor allows you to control the amount of air delivered to the fire. Set it on high for big fires at the beach, or dial it down to light your charcoal smoker or fireplace. A perfect blend of contemporary design and advanced technology, BBQ Dragon has a durable stainless steel body just in case you leave it outside. It includes four AA batteries which can power the BBQ Dragon up to three hours at medium speed. You can also use your existing micro-USB home or car charger to recharge the Dragon using optional Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.

Works great!

I got this to go with my new chimney starter that had a hole for a fan to feed oxygen to the charcoal while it was lighting. I LOVE it! It works so well and gets the charcoal lit so much faster than a traditional chimney lighter.

Love it!!

I like this BBQ fan it starts my charcoal grill fast and it stays lit. It's made from stainless steel that stays cool. It has an adjustable neck so that you can position how you want. It also has a speed motor so that you can control the amount of airflow. It doesn't matter what kind of grill you got it'll clip to any grill and stay. Its battery powered and and cordless so you can set it where you want.

Very fast

Since I started using this fan, starting the charcoal is so much easier. We had backyard BBQ for Mother's day and starting the fire with this is super easy and quick. No more waiting and feeling frustrated. It's so easy to use. Totally recommended.

Blazing Charcoal In Three To Four Minutes

This BBQ Dragon Fan fits right into the lower part of my Dragon Chimney and fires charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal right up in about three and a half minutes. I've seen reviews other people have given on an online video platform and almost every one of them used this fan wrong with the Dragon chimney. You have to insert the fan into the pipe in the lower side of the chimney and it works much faster. It works fast and will have you grilling steaks and burgers in just a few minutes. I was very happy with the clamp on the other end of this chimney fan which allowed me to clamp onto my grill while starting my charcoal. Great product!

Perfect for lighting a grill fast

This is perfect for lighting my charcoal grill and keeping it going strong especially on a stagnant day with no wind. Will be using this for years to come.

Quicker Charcoal Starting.

This made using my charcoal heat up a lot quicker than just fluid. The moveable head made it easy to put in place and heat where it needed it. Before it took about 20 mins to get it going this cut that time in half around 9 or 10 mins. Definitely worth the money if you have a charcoal grill and use it a lot in the summers.

Works as intended.

The fan works fairly well for speeding up the process of lighting the charcoal on my grill. My only complaint was that it seemed to not work properly on my first use, the fan didn't seem to spin or something. After a good shake, it seemed to have fixed itself and it started to work. I am not quite sure if the fan is "essential" for the lighting process, as it really doesn't shave off much time. The product itself works like it should, the clip is heavy duty and sturdy. The neck is malleable and can be positioned as needed. Decent product.

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.
