The Looftlighter® is the fastest, cleanest, safest, and easiest method for lighting your barbecue grill or wood fireplace. The Looftlighter ignites wood or charcoal in fewer than 60 seconds with its patented hot-airstream process. 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 to 6 inches and continue heating the same spot. Before you know it, you will have a roaring fire.
