It comes to temp faster than the mini. I had the plate setter in as soon as my starter cube went out and it still hit 350 in about 10 minutes.
-
My MM came up to 350-400 very quick. Will hit the timer next time.
-
400 in about 6 minutes using a Looft.

@Big_Green_Craig how do you like your looft? I'm thinking of getting one for Xmas. I just didn't know if it was that much better than using the little lighter cubes1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

@Grillin_beers get a heat gun from home depot. Its the same thing and I believe I paid $22 for my Wagner one from home depot like 2-3 years ago. Its basically an 1100 degree hair dryer. Nice thing about the heat gun once it gets the egg going you just hang it over the edge of the egg and it blows air into the fire getting hot even faster.

@lit thanks man! I have a torch that I can use to get it going but I honestly don't like it much. I got it as a wedding gift.1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

The looft lighter is just a glorified heat gun that 4-5 times the price.

I can't speak for the head gun, but I can for the Looft. I can have my fire started and ready to cook in approx 6 min. Plus, it has a built in bottle opener!Grillin_beers said:@Big_Green_Craig how do you like your looft? I'm thinking of getting one for Xmas.
