Seen a lot of posts on using plumbing torches, but not electric.
Bought one of these to burn weeds as our local DIY store didn't have the proper long handled plumbers torch type. https://www.diy.com/departments/fast-action-weed-burner/3663602425021_BQ.prd
Absolutely useless for burning weeds. Had trouble lighting today / was taking a fair while. Had the (possibly) bright idea of using this to help, on the half-lit lighters, and then up the bottom vent hole. It uses an electric heater (2kw) and a fan.
Worked great. Is there any potential with using one of these, either through the bottom vent or straight on coals? If not, I'd highly recommend.

Looft lighter or homeright electro torch.
Ive used the homeright (older version) for years and years.. Only sucks if you’re too far from the outlet.
Not sure if what you used worked off battery. But I’d avoid battery as you’ll have to replace.
I just aim the flame on the top of the coals for 20-30 seconds. Try not to blast the flame out, it will cause sparking on lump charcoal
A steady even flame, feel the gas low so it doesn’t blow sparks around.
