Review: Super nice propane torch ! - Wow !!! I am absolutely satisfied with that torch ! I use it to light my wood stove (I haven't used it for anything else, though), and it works great ! It's powerful, the piezo igniter works 10 times on 10, no miss, and the flame/heat is massive ! The valve work super fine too. Only good words for that product, do far. Let see if my opinion stays the same, over the next months/years of usage, though
Review: Great way to fire up the Big Green Egg - I was using a BGE branded old school style electric lighter for my large big green egg. It kept tripping the gcfi outlet if i left it on for more than 5min, so i was looking for something else. I had my eye on the looflighter but it was pricey and seemed like you had to hold the trigger down for a couple min to really get the fire going. I came across the JJGeorge torch and thought that this may work. I was really looking for something that i could set on the coutertop of my outdoor kitchen and leave it for a min while i walked away. this one didn't look like it would be long enough to reach down to the charcoal. I looked at JJGeorges website and saw that they had an extended version of this for a couple bucks more. I emailed them my question about how the extended one would work for my needs, i got a response from John very quickly and he explained that the shorter one would work better and that i would need to hold onto the torch while its being lit. I also asked him if i could just hang it off the side and leave it for a moment, he said i would need to hang onto it while its going and it only takes 1 min to get the fire going. This sounded great, so i bit and order it. I tried it for the first time yesterday, and man it works great! I did have a little bit of a hard time getting the fire going with the igniter, but as soon as i found the "sweet spot" on the valve, she fires right up. During my first run, i was worried that the small hot spot the torch was creating wouldn't really turn into a large glowing coal mass. I sent blue flames to one side of the middle of my charcoal bed for 30 seconds and switched to the other side of the middle for the next 30 seconds. Once i had a good hot spot going (after 1min with the torch going), i turned it off and walked away for 5 ish minutes. I came back to a nice glowing coal bed. It works fantastically. I highly recomend this to anyone looking to make the light up BGE process a little faster/easier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the torch fire in an upward direction into a open firebox on a gravity fed smoker?**
A: I would think it would work fine.  Once lit it's like a torch and should work in any direction.  It works great to light wood/charcoal. I love it!

**Q: What is the btu rating?**
A: Actually, propane provides about 2.4 times more BTUs  than natural gas for a given volume. NG provides 1030 BTUs per cubic foot and propane provides 2516 BTUs per cubic foot.

**Q: Do this light the charcoal directly, or do I still need starter blocks, etc.?**
A: You do not need starter blocks or chips with this torch.  I have a Big Green Egg and use only lump charcoal, depending on the cook I hold it near the charcoal in one to three spots for about 30-45 seconds each.  One or two spots for a low and slow cook, two or three spots for a high temp grill for steaks or burgers.

**Q: Would this work with a charcoal chimney?**
A: Yes you can use it to light a charcoal chimney.....  It  also eliminates the need for a chimney!  

Thanks!

John

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best grill starter!!
*by O***W on September 12, 2020*

This is the best charcoal starter I have ever owned! The long nozzle and handle are great for starting Egg style grills. It started my grill much faster than the multiple electric starters I have tried plus you don't have to be near any electrical outlets. The heat is instantaneous and gets the job done quickly. I also bought one for my son who really loves his too. If your a camper or hunter, this will quickly start your grill or even a damp campfire. I have used it for more than 15 starts and still have a lot of propane left in the 14.1 ounce can. This item is well worth the money.
