I just got this thing and I gotta say , It is the greatest thing !! If you don't have one I would highly recommend it . I lit the egg in less than 30 seconds and the heat was where I wanted it 10 minutes later !!
I am amazed at this thing .

I was never a Boy Scout. I was in the politically incorrect Indian Guides. We thinkem fire good (heh, heh, heh). I have a Dewalt hot air gun and I can always use a veg oil soaked paper towel.Flint, Michigan -

I also have the old fashioned electric starter that I bought at the same time as my first egg and a box of starter cubes and I would never be adversed to using the oil soaked paper towel route!

Coleman the tent maker sells something similar to a mapp or propane torch but only lights when theres fire infrot of it, its made to start campfires but for 7$ It was way cheaper than a mapp torch and its almost 3 feet long so you are away from the sparks aswell

The TS8000 has aluminum threads, so either leave the head on the bottle or be very careful each time you re-attach to the MAP bottle. They wear down quickly.
