Looftlighter - Electric Barbeque & Stove Lighter

Product Information

Burn Button – Initiates the Automatic Ignition Program, designed to optimize igniting and preserving battery power by balancing the two most important elements of igniting – Heat and Oxygen. The Looftlighter works in the exact same way as the Eggniter, turning electric energy into heat energy and using that heat energy to light up the charcoal. Now everyone perceives price differently so I can’t really say much about that but if you want the cheaper product, Eggniter is the way to go.

Lighter fluid is, therefore, a distant smelly memory. Key Features

In all fairness, I found it a bit of a struggle to light a PURE wood fire with the Looft Lighter X. I managed it, but it took some time. As an estimate, using standard-sized kiln dried kindling, it took two goes of the 2-minute ‘burn mode’ to get a decent ember and then a few minutes of ‘air mode’ to get a fire going.

We highly recommended using high-quality charcoal. This will result in faster lighting, fewer sparks and a more steady cooking temperature. If you use briquettes the lighting time will be a bit longer. Briquettes are made from charcoal powder compressed with corn starch which will also result in more smoke. Operation is straightforward, with clearly labeled buttons right where your fingers can reach them. Notably, the power button is on the underside of the handle, making it virtually impossible to turn it on in transit accidentally.

I like the look of the Looft Lighter X; it’s sleek and modern, more so than the original Looft Lighter, which looks much like a large curling iron. The integrated handle creates a hole in the center of the unit’s body, and it feels ergonomic enough, and you won’t need a large hand to grip it. Finally, you cover the lit part with the rest of the charcoal until you have a bed ready to cook on. Now once you point that heat toward a bed of coals, it will work pretty much like fire (even though there is none). Charcoal is mostly made of carbon and they are filled with chemical energy.

Product Comparison

It is somewhat large. If you think about how small a gas lighter and a few lighter cubes are compared to this, it rather takes away from it being ‘portable.’ Yes, you can! The Looftlighter is designed for both outdoor and indoor use. It is optimal for lighting your fireplace, wood burner or iron stove. Tip: The Looftlighter is perfect to ”pre-heat” the chimney for say 30 seconds before lighting the wood.
