With the Looftlighter, you light a fire in 60 seconds. You can then leave the charcoal to get ready on its own (takes approximately 20 minutes) or you can continue using the lighter and fast-forward the process, which makes the fire ready in 4-5 minutes depending on the quality of the charcoal. No. It is not allowed to open up the lighter for repair or modification due to our safety standards. If your lighter is broken, please refer to our warranty claim procedures.

To speed up the process, just move to another section of your charcoal pile. You’ll probably be totally ready to cook in about 5 minutes, depending on how much charcoal you’re using. This is about the cleanest way I know of to start a fire. There’s no need for toxic chemicals like lighter fluid. We’re just using good old clean superheated air to light charcoal grills, fireplace logs, fire pits, or an outdoor pizza oven. For safety reasons, it will stay activated for 10 seconds and automatically deactivate if no action is taken during this time. The Looft Lighter X is so easy to use. It’s probably one of the easiest fire starter options I own, and I have quite a few here at the Lab.
