BBQ Lighter
Filed Under: Green Gadgets
It is an issue of good debate in the barbeque world whether meat tastes better when heated over an open flame. Or would the cooking be better when charcoal is used. Some may even prefer Applewood as the heating source. However, history has proved that heating the charcoal grill has been a very frustrating experience. This entire scenario can be changed by using the 60 second charcoal starter.
Principle of work
This charcoal lighter looks more like a light saver. However, rather than using light plasma, it utilizes hot air that has been heated to almost 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. Initially, the wand is buried in the pile of charcoal. This wand continues to heat the coal till the briquettes start to spark. Then, the wand is removed. The sparks which have been created continue to heat the pile of coal till the fire begins. The result of using this lighter is that there is a cleaner flame. Also the dangers of BBQ gas are obviated. This gas cannot be overused to start a serious fire.
Power
This 60 second charcoal starter is given power by 110 AC. Thus, the wand cannot be used for any backpacking trips. However, those travelers which have an RV or generator with an electrical output can use this device. It is possible for such travelers to light the fire for cooking. The only thing necessary in this case is that there must be a decent extension cord. Thus, this product from Hammacher is very useful indoors as well as outdoors.
