Or you could bring in a local politician and stand him by the pit, and ask him his opinion...... :D :D :D

But then they would tell you what your eating is unhealthy... while they grab a doggy bag.

I think I will stick with my Harbor Freight weed torch. I like the name BBQ Dragon, so that is its new name......

I always use this.

However, I have seen a few guys bend over, light a match and the charcoal just lights spontaneously.

Smoke, check Lowes, they are starting to give away everything they have in inventory. I went back and got a 50 per cent credit on the Weber I just purchased because they started marking everything down to clear inventory. They had a char-griller egg imitation normally for $299 now selling for $169.00. Looked like a good product when I looked at it.

There is always the Yoder Abilene Backyard Smoker for $599.00.

Yup - use that on my 500X, chiminea, and hibachi! The light headed part is kinda fun! I do add a little cooking oil to help it along.

1968 for me, at least to the best of my memory of those times. My Weber chimney and newspaper works great for me.

Last year (or the year before) this product was in pre-development and they were trying to get folks to back the company with investments - what do they call that plan (crowdfunding)?

Anyway, the inventor couldn't raise enough capital to bring it to market...guess they found some money.  I ALMOST invested in this product.

Not only good for starting the fire but helping to stoke it when you add more fuel or just make it a whole lot hotter.

I'll check out the alternate products, too.

They did get their Kickstarter funded on June 1st this summer. They had 854 backers and got $103,307
pledged of their $100,000 goal.

I haven't personally used one yet. I do like using my BernzOmatic JT850 Self-Igniting Outdoor Torch or my Looftlighter. Those seem to work pretty well for me. :)
