HomeRight Electro Torch Fire Starter Tool
Best quick ignition for outdoor grilling and indoor fireplaces.
The HomeRight Electro Torch is a convenient tool for lighting charcoal barbecues, wood-burning fireplaces, campfires, and fire pits without the need for matches or starter fluids. It features a dual ignition switch designed to ignite fires in under a minute, and with additional heat, can create a roaring fire in just 2-3 minutes. The tool operates by generating super-heated air in its first position to ignite the fire, and then high-velocity airflow in its second position to fan the flames. It utilizes 1500-degree hot air, eliminating concerns about chemical tastes on food or running out of starter fluid.
