Looftlighter

The Looftlighter Classic Charcoal Starter takes the hassle out of lighting charcoal, briquettes and wood. Using a powerful stream of 700°C superheated air, it ignites fuel in around 60 seconds without the need for lighter fluid, firelighters, gas or naked flames. The result is a cleaner, quicker way to get your barbecue, pizza oven or fire started.

Simply point the Looftlighter at the charcoal or logs, press the button and let the hot air do the work. Once the fuel begins to glow, pull the lighter back slightly to increase airflow and build a strong, even fire. Because there's no chemical residue, your food starts over clean-burning fuel without unwanted odours or flavours.

At i4C, we’re big fans of the Looftlighter, and we often use it with the Monolith ceramic barbecues and Pit Barrel cookers to make outdoor cooking simpler from the very first spark.

Key Features:

  • Lights charcoal, briquettes and logs in approximately 60 seconds.
  • Uses 700°C superheated air with no open flame.
  • Fully electric design with no gas cartridges or refills required.
  • Suitable for barbecues, smokers, pizza ovens and fireplaces.
  • 3-metre power cable for flexible positioning outdoors.
  • 1800W power output (230V, 50Hz).
  • Dimensions: 49 × 7 × 7cm.

Usage Ideas:

  • Light a ceramic barbecue quickly so you can start cooking steaks, burgers or vegetables without waiting for traditional firelighters.
  • Get a wood-fired pizza oven up to cooking temperature using kiln-dried logs in just a few minutes.
  • Start a smoker cleanly before adding wood chunks for low and slow barbecue cooks.
  • Ignite logs in a fireplace or outdoor fire pit without newspaper, lighter cubes or chemical firelighters.

Does the Looftlighter work in windy conditions?

Yes. Because it uses concentrated superheated air rather than a flame, it is generally much less affected by wind than traditional gas lighters, making it ideal for outdoor barbecues.

Can I use the Looftlighter more than once during a barbecue?

Absolutely. Many people use it to relight charcoal during long cooking sessions or to ignite fresh charcoal when topping up fuel for extended smoking or grilling.

Why does the Looftlighter have a long power cable?

The 3-metre cable provides extra flexibility when setting up outdoors, allowing you to reach your barbecue, pizza oven or fire pit more comfortably while keeping the plug safely away from the heat.
