Tired of waiting for your charcoal to ignite? Well, fear not! We’ve found a cool little BBQ gadget that will make your life a little bit easier. How about lighting your charcoal in only 60 seconds? Without lighter fluid!
The maker of this handy-dandy lighter claim that you can start grilling in five minutes. Similar to the heat-focusing technology used in paint-stripping hot-air guns, this charcoal starter emits hot air somewhere to the tune of 1,290 degrees Fahrenheit.
All you do is plug the device into a standard wall outlet, place the metal tip into the charcoal and hold down the button. When the charcoal lights up, remove the tip from the coals and continue to point the unit at the charcoal for sixty seconds. Then voila! You’ve got yourself some hot ass coals!
The lighter can also be used for a wood-burning fireplace.
Available only at Hammacher Schlemmer. But I have a feeling we’ll start seeing some knock-offs of this beauty in no time!
