Great starter for charcoal grilling!!!! June 30, 2008

Works great! No need to purchase lighter fluid and stand there waiting for the coals to light. Just place in the middle of the charcoal, plug in, wait about 10 minutes, and the coals are lit.

In my area this is alot of wind(since i live close to the windy city chi) so everytime i get some kind of fire going the charcoal wont light. I tried the charcoal chimney and paid 15 bucks for it and it did nothing for me. So after trying for 2 hours to light using that dumb chimney I borrowed one of these wands from my mother and in 5 minutes the charcoal started smoking. This the best starter for a barbeque hands down.

The starter wand is a quick way to get the charcoal going. No chemicals in the food. I love it.

This is the best thing next to sliced bread. You don't have to deal with all that awful starter fluid that contaminates the grilled food. No matches, no fluid, no fire to start. I have been looking for this for an electric starter for ages. Had one years ago and now that I found it, I ordered two.

Simple and easy - just the way I like it July 18, 2007

We made the decision to stick with charcoal because of the taste advantage, but the hassles of starter fluid, matches (haven't smoked in a decade), or stacked newspapers wears thin after a short while. I had heard about these electric starters, so I decided to try one out. It doesn't get any easier than this. Spread 1 coat of briquets, set the tip of the starter in the middle with the cord/handle over the side, pile some briquets on the starter tip and plug it in. Presto - in 8-10 minutes you have it going well. Unplug the starter and pull it out. No matches, fluid, flare-ups, newspapers, or gas smell.

I've used it twice and it's slick.

Can anyone use a half a can of starter fluid (free).
