Product Description
The new Electro-Torch is the perfect grilling, camping, & RVing accessory. The Electro-Torch allows you to easily light your charcoal barbecue, wood burning fireplace, campfire or fire pit without using matches or starter fluids. The Electro-Torch has a dual ignition switch that allows you to ignite a fire in under one minute! Apply more heat and you'll have a roaring fire in as little as 2-3 minutes. The first position generates super-heated air to ignite the fire. The second position produces high-velocity air flow to fan the flames. The Electro-Torch uses nothing but 1500° temperature hot air to ignite your wood or charcoal. You'll never have to worry about tasting chemicals on your food or running out of starter fluid again! When your fire or charcoal starts to burn down, add more wood or charcoal and use the Electro-Torch to get it roaring again. The Electro-Torch has a special thermal protection feature. If the unit reaches an exceedingly high temperature that might damage the unit, the automatic thermal switch will be engaged and the unit will shut off. This can happen when the unit is running for extended periods or when excess heat has built up in the heating chamber. In approximately 15-20 minutes, the Electro-Torch will be cooled down enough to restart. The Electro-Torch has a 6' long heavy gauge grounded power cord.

So now after loading charcoal, I simply light from the top in one or two spots depending how quickly I need to get going and whether high temp grilling or lower temp slow cooking. Bottom line, this thing is fast!
Holding it in one spot just touching the charcoal, maybe 30-45 seconds on switch position #1 (low air speed but extremely hot) and there's a good base of orange burning charcoal. Then, flip the switch to position #2 for another 30 seconds and you've got higher air flow turning that little pile of orange into a flaming blast furnace. Pretty simple and quite fast.
As others have mentioned, the switch is a momentary rocker, meaning that you must hold it in either #1 or #2 position to make it work. Release it and the torch shuts off. That's not really a big deal and I totally get why they do it. Sure as heck someone would set this thing down on a wood deck and presto, a really big backyard grilling experience begins.
So far I've only used it three times lighting my Kamado. I have also used it once to light a Solo Stove firepit with no kindling. Granted my fuel was dry pine firewood, but the Electro Torch lit the log in seconds and had a nice roaring fire in about a minute or so.
I'm giving it 5 stars simply because it works, and works very well. For the speed and ease of use, it's worth the price. It's built nice and solidly with a decent gauge protective metal shroud around the heating element. Will it last? TBD. I'll keep it out of the weather, take care not to bang it around, and then I'll follow up here if there is any reason to downgrade my rating. So far, nothing not to like!
While it’s not the fastest and requires moving around to light different sections, if used in tandem with a chimney, I could see this product working extremely well to light charcoal more effectIvely.
Well, it's far exceeded my expectations. This thing gets going fast and will get your coals white-hot in about 3-5 minutes.
Here are a few tips from my experience:
>> Be sure to stack your coals but leave a little room for air to circulate. I typically stack my coals on one corner of my grill, leaving room for hot and cool air to pass through and help get things going.
>> You'll need a nearby electric outlet (duh) or a 3-prong extension cord.
>> The toggle switch has two settings indicated by a single and double line. The single line applies heat and gets really, really hot. The double line setting is a blower. Use the blower to help kindle and feed the fire as things get hot.
>> The toggle switches must be constantly held down to function. This is an intentional design to prevent fires.
>> Sticking the head of the unit directly into the fuel is a bad idea and will almost certainly damage the device. Keep it a few inches away and back off as things get hotter.
That's it! This simple little torch has saved me a ton of work and clean up and completely replaced my BBQ chimney. I'm super happy with this purchase and definitely recommend it!
