Looftlighter Lighter X

The Looft Lighter X is designed to handle multiple ignitions on a single charge. Depending on the fuel type and how long you hold the device to the coals, you can typically expect to start several fires before needing to recharge the battery.

No, the Looft Lighter X uses only superheated air to ignite your fuel. Because it relies entirely on heat rather than chemicals, you won't have to worry about any unwanted flavors or odors transferring to your food.

While it is highly effective at lighting dry, seasoned logs, it is not intended for use with wet or green wood. For the best results, ensure your logs are properly seasoned to allow the superheated air to catch the wood fibers quickly.

For the best results, touch the tip of the lighter directly to the charcoal or wood pile. Once you see a spark or a glow, pull the lighter back slightly and continue aiming the hot air at the same spot until the fire begins to spread.

Unlike a chimney, which relies on passive airflow and takes 15 to 20 minutes to get coals ready, the Looft Lighter X uses forced superheated air to ignite fuel in about 60 seconds. It offers much faster results and eliminates the need to handle hot, heavy metal containers.
