Customers like the quality, speed, and igniter of the barbecue grill. For example, they mention it's an excellent fire starter for everyday grilling, it gets the Vishal going quickly, and it'll catch on fire very fast afterwards. That said, opinions are mixed on length and performance.

First, the pictures don't do this device justice. It is big, meaning it covers a ton of charcoal. Just follow the directions: I place it on top of a layer of charcoal, stack additional charcoal, then plug it in. These photos span a total of ten minutes from plugging the starter in to lit coals. No more fuel-based fire starters, messy chimney starters, or worst of all lighting fluid. This thing is fantastic, highly recommend.

This is an excellent fire starter for everyday grilling. I have a 22 inch Weber kettle grill, and I always used a Weber chimney to light the charlcoal for it, but I could never fit quite enough charcoal in it to get a lot of heat. Besides,
the chimney always burnt my fingers, unless I put thick gloves on. This electric device is a game changer - it lights a full load of charcoal directly inside the grill in mere 20 minutes, eliminating the need to juggle a glowing-hot chimney and get my fingers burnt. The only modification I made is that I wrapped some aluminium foil around the plastic handle to increase its longevity, because I like my grill really HOT and I use a lot of charcoal at once - it puts a great sear on your steaks. Thanks to this device, I reconsidered buying a kamado-style grill ($1200 and up), because now I can get all the heat I need for my grilling from a simple kettle grill. There is no way this purchase could be a better value.

I've been using an electric charcoal lighter for a few years and prefer them over other means of starting charcoal. I have an "egg" style grill that has a door for use with electric charcoal starters. This product is too wide and doesn't fit through the door. I used it from the top and now prefer to use it this way. I didn't have an issue with the handle melting or even getting hot. The handle sits above the coal bowl and not exposed to too much heat. I place a layer of coals on the bottom and then make a mound to cover the elements on the top. In about 10 minutes, the coals are hot enough to take the starter out and let the coals get hotter on their own. Good product and customer support .

Flavor? Why I am asked about the flavor?
Anyway, it works very well. It takes about 8-10 minutes for the charcoal to start smoking and then it will catch on fire very fast afterwards. It works as you expect.

Worked great the four times I used it. It no longer works and it was not cheap. However, it is cheaper than the Green Egg lighter that I originally purchased. However, the Green Egg lighter lasted 10 years and probably 50+ lights. Compared to this one, the Green Egg lighter was a bargain.
