Looftlighter took a crap

Mine is going on 24 months although I only paid $40 at a Williams Sonoma close out. I should feel lucky..._________________________________________________Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!Large BGE 2006, Mini Max 2014, 36" Blackstone, Anova Sous Vide

I have always understood that Looftlighters lasted about an hour and a half longer than their 2 year warranty. Congratulations!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I'd been using starter cubes for all the years I've had my Eggs, just recently tried a MAPP torch, and even though I do NOT like the showers of sparks that sometimes blow around (the first time I wore my normal glasses, but ever since I've worn safety glasses instead), I have to admit it's about as easy and very much faster. People here say that propane will do just as well and is cheaper, so whenever this tank of MAP gas runs out, I'm going to try propane. I think I'm a convert. It's pretty easy and very fast. My guess is that it works exactly the same way the Looftlighter works, only hotter and faster.

Mine is still doing fine. It beats the heck out of my old electric loop lighter.

I sent looftlighter A email this morning and no response yet and when I contacted Williams & Sonoma they told me I would need my receipt. I have bought a lot of gadgets from them over the years, my family has bought every type of seasoning, brine, pepper racks, pizza stones and cookbooks you can imagine from there.
I would think that WS would have a record of when you purchased it, Did you order from WS on-line? If so, check your "Account", you might find a record of when purchased.

Buy a weed burner as @Jstroke states or a small MAPP torch as @Theophan states and never look back. I have both. I started out with the weed burner and then got the MAPP for use on the small and mini. I haven't used the weed burner since I got the MAPP. I use propane in the MAPP torch because I have a surplus of the propane canisters.

I got a feeling my $47 jug of Everclear is going to last about as long as a Looflighter, but requires no electricity and if hard pressed for a "hitter" I can take a nip!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

What about a cheap heatgun? Should work just as well.
Another little known fact about heatguns, you will extend the life of the hearing element by running the fan/no heat until it cools down. -

I'm on close to 4 years with mine, heavy use and no issues! I would buy another if this one ever gives it up. I love it.Large BGE 2011, XL BGE 2015, Mini Max 2015, and member of the "North of the Border Smokin Squad" Canadian Outdoor Chef from London, Ontario, Canada

Get a Wagner heat gun from Home Depot for $22 it's pretty much the same thing as a looflighter.My last heat gun lasted like 10 years until I forgot about it while lighting a chimney and melted it.

Good to hear! If you kept the old one, would you mind taking it apart please? I'm just curious if there's a fuse that's not too hard to replace. My dealer replaced my Looftlighter that died when in warranty, the new unit is still going strong. Call me OCD, one precaution I take is ... press and hold the power switch once only, until all spots are lit, IMO repeated on/off cycles create power surgescanuckland
