    Didn’t even know that was a thing

    Takes forever and you gotta run a cord out to your grill.

    They’re great for hanging on a doorknob and pranking holiday burglars, however.

    These work fine. My parents used the same one in their kettle for 15+ years

    It’s slow. I use a high power propane burner and put a chimney of briquettes on it. Ready in a minute lol

    In the 80’s my dad used one. He liked it because it was slow. It took two rum and cokes to get ready to bbq.

    What my dad has always used, has the same one from the 90s. Don’t think he’ll ever change even with quicker and easier methods available

    My grandmother used this on her bbq to start the briquettes in the 80s

    Cost 35$ on each coal start per power usage.
