Know before you buy
The 36V Li-Ion battery is designed to provide multiple ignitions on a single charge. You can expect to light your grill or fireplace several times before needing to plug it back in for a full two-hour recharge.
No, it is completely flameless. It uses a stream of superheated air reaching up to 1200°F (650°C) to ignite charcoal, wood, or briquettes, which eliminates the need for lighter fluids or gas.
Yes, it is versatile enough to be used for grills, pizza ovens, smokers, and indoor fireplaces. Because it produces no CO2 emissions or toxic chemicals, it is a clean and safe alternative for any of these applications.
The device features a safety casing designed to cool down quickly after use. While the tip will be extremely hot during operation, the exterior housing is engineered to lose heat rapidly once the unit is turned off.
For the fastest results, touch the tip of the lighter directly to the charcoal or wood. Once you see sparks or a glow, pull the lighter back slightly and continue aiming the hot air at the same spot until the fire takes hold.
The Looft Lighter X is cordless for portability, so you will need to bring it indoors to charge via the included wall charger. It is best to ensure the device is fully charged before you head out to grill.
