Brilliant bit of a kit. Used it now for 2 summers...
A Swedish friend had one of these and it seemed a great idea. We bought one and are now on our second year of use. We’ve used it numerous times during this glorious summer. It may seem crazy to be using electricity to light your barb, but it really does speed the lighting process up. I measured it at about 800 Watts (so a 1/3rd of an average electric kettle) No need for horrible self-lighting charcoal, just plug it in and 15-20 mins later the bbq’s going well. Cuts down on all the smoke and flames we normally associate with bbq’s. Cant recommend this product enough. Only negative could be the storage bracket, which is a bit flimsy and awkward.

Easy lighting
Best BBQ lighters I have found - lights the BBQ in 15 minutes, no flame, no lighter fluid smell, and so far seem very robust as no moving parts.

Ho Hassle and No Mess
Used this once and it was perfect. It took 10 minutes and the charcoal was lit perfectly. No Hassle and no mess. There was no residue to smell of lighting fluid. Will never go back to matches and lighting fluid every again.

Starter good but let down by base
Makes light work of starting the BBQ. Within 10 minutes the charcoals were flaming and almost ready, with no fuss of lighter fluid or blocks. The base it stands on when cooling is a little on the thin side so does not fully secure the heater properly as it bends very easily.

Prometheus unchained.
This is the 3rd summer I've had this item and I'm quite surprised to hear that some people have had problems. It's never tripped my RCD unit (and at times it does seem quite sensitive) and the handle certainly hasn't caught fire. I bought this after my sons had to watch Dad struggling to light some charcoal, with half the Sunday Times plus a bottle of lighting fluid I'd had to interrupt the event so that I could get some at the local Homebase. After some 2 to 3 hours I was finally cooking. I was about to take the BBQ down to the dump when I thought I'd look on Amazon, and found this little beauty. Last week began its 3rd year of usage and I can only recommend it. Put some charcoal in the BBQ, put this on top and put a little more charcoal on top, plug it in and wait 10 to 15 minutes. When you come back you've got a BBQ with nicely glowing charcoal ready for your burgers and sausages. No horrible petrol smell, no smoke, just glowing embers. Even better, you'll soon recover the cost of the starter by not having to buy starter fluids and firelighters. The only point I would make is that if you've got kids, keep it well away from them after the BBQ is lit. The forks will be glowing red hot and will result in a very nasty injury if touched. Thankfully mine are old enough to understand when I tell them to keep away, but if you have very young children put it somewhere safely out of reach while it cools down.

A simple but fantastic addition to any BBQ
Having been to Greece on holiday on many occassions, watching the locals relaxing with a bbq I was envious and so last Summer I decided I was going to take my weber go anywhere travel bbq with me. However, as we were staying in a small resort I di not know if I would be able to buy lighter fluids (I use a weber chimney at home) and so searched the internet to see if there was an electric charcoal lighter in existance. What a lovely surprise, there was!!!!! So, off I went on holiday with the bbq, lighter and extension cable. As mentioned on another review, using the lighter could not be simpler, lay out some charcoal in your bbq, place the COLD lighter on top of the charcoal with the handle furthest away from the charcoal, scatter more charcoal on top and then plug in the lighter and wait 5 minutes and your charcoal will be in full blaze. Unplug the lighter and carefully remove it from the charcoal. There is a thin metal stand that comes with the lighter which is a bit flimsy and the hot lighter rests on this until it has gone cold and safe to put away. Needless to say...... if you have young children, keep this away from them as it gets that hot it becomes, literally red hot and remains hot for a good 10 minutes after being unplugged. To conclude, I thoroughly recommend this product and enjoyed using it and look forward to using it again.

The best invention after antibiotics
Perfect product. Forget chimneys, gas and others. I am able to start the coal without giving any headache to my neighbours. Only 10 minutes is enough to lit the coals. After I bought this, I also bought two more for my friends. They all loved it. I have been using this for 2 years now and have not had any problems.

Very good device
Works extremely well and very easy to use. Would be five stars except that the plug on it is large and will not fit into either of our external weatherproof sockets. Two options, change the plug or use an extension lead.

la resistencia se calienta enseguida y prende el carbón en muy pocos minutos. Muy útil para encender y mantener un fuego en la barbacoa. Muy útil y muy contento con la compra, lo compraría otra vez La resistencia es de buen tamaño como del tamaño de una raqueta de ping-pong y trae un soporte donde apoyarla mientras todavía esta caliente y la sacas del fuego.

Très efficace, allume même les poussières de charbon de bois (que l'on trouve au fond des sacs par exemple)...pas besoin d'allume-feu à base de produits chimiques qui peuvent donner du goût...seul problème, le manche n'est pas assez long et le plastique qui le compose peut fondre à la chaleur
P**)
Plus besoin d'allume-feu, de papier, de carton, de brindilles, ultra simple à utiliser et très efficace
