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.

Holy mother of fire…
Review 3 years after purchase first problem!!! We abuse this thing it has sat outside all year for the last 3 years but somehow every years starts right back up.. today I saw the first signs of a problem. The button stuck in heat mode. Switched out easy but was Hot hot under the pit. That being said every fire I’ve wanted to light in the last 3 years our “light saber” has got the job done.
