Learn more about The 60 Second Electric Charcoal Starter:
Hammacher Schlemmer:
This is the electric starter that ignites coals, pelets, briquettes, and wood in 60 seconds without requiring the use of lighter fluid. Similar to the heat-focusing technology used in paint-stripping hot-air guns, the charcoal starter emits hot air at 1,200º F, providing a constant, precise flow of heat from the tip of the unit. Simply plug the device into a standard wall outlet, place the metal tip into the charcoal and hold down the button. When the charcoal sparks, remove the tip from the coals, but continue to point the unit at the charcoal for sixty seconds. Also ideal for lighting a wood-burning fireplace, the device has a cool-touch handle and an integrated stand.
