The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    I use a butane torch, a lot. No worries fires 100% of the time, no waiting until 225°F, just a few minutes more for any other desired temp, using only Rockwood.

    I have a Blackstone and I swapped out the small drip catcher for a Pit boss bucket..I place several single paper towels in the bottom of the bucket. When I throw bacon on the Blackstone, I squeegee the grease into the bucket. Then when lighting the egg, I grab a grease soaked paper towel with my ash tool and bury it into the charcoal. 

    I leave it for 5-10 minutes with the lid open and  I'm rolling..

    long way to say 120 bucks to light some charcoal seems like a lot.

    I’m still rocking my JJ George grill torch I got years ago when I cooked at the Indy EggFest.

    paper towel and cooking oil is just too convenient for me. canola starts to go rancid so i replace the gallon once a year and date the new jug. old stuff is kept in the gasser cabinet. hole drilled in the cover with a roofing nail closing the hole. makes for no mess. gave up years ago with the propane torches, weed burners, mapp....soaking paper towels for a week or year supply works better, but im too lazy

    Thanks guys.  I have one on order, will let you know how it goes.  Been using a Looftlighter for ten or so years.

    Absolutely love this thing.  Gets the fire going 3-5 times faster than the Looft

    Just bought a torch head for soldering so I will try that 1st.
    I've used weber wax cubes for years but can change..Faster light is not an issue, but rather which is the cleanest way to light it.    Also?    Starting with chimney for large fires is one thing but I must now figure out the 'small' fire for smoking.....
