This thing is a total game changer. Used the BGE butane starter for awhile but eventually the end of the starter wore out. Switched to starter cubes for the last few years. Decided to get this as I wanted to try something else. It's so fun and literally takes less than 1 minute to ignite enough of the coals for a good start. Leave the lid open for 10 minutes, then shut the lid, and a few minutes later Green Egg is at 400*.
This is an excellent torch. I have tried other brands that failed for one reason or another. This has been a far superior experience. It is simple to use and well built.
This thing is AWESOME!!!! Highly recommend you buy one.
After buying different fire starters, I kept talking myself out of the RocketFire. But, I'm so thankful I gave in and purchased one. Best purchase I have made in a while!!!
The torch worked perfectly from the start: easy to operate, plenty of fire power (pun intended), and I am very pleased with my purchase.
Like the torch and seems to be a good tool after using for the first time.
I've been using my Kamado Joe Classic for 3 years and the only issue I had with the smoking was getting the temperature up to cooking temp. This unit eliminates that issue. I've used it twice since I purchased it and will use my smoker even more than before now that I can start the cook way sooner than before. The product itself is easy to use and works as advertised.
Works like a charm for starting the green egg
Great little fire starter with a big punch.
Very hard to handle bulky. Haven't used yet on starting wood fire yet. price was a little high but great quality all from SS material. I will test it out more looking forward to use it for preheating parts for weldind as well.
Used it yesterday for the bbq. Workef great. My son turned me on to it. He’s a camper. No more fighting with a chimney.
Solid build ,ease of use and the fastest way to light up your lump charcoal.
I’d like to make two points.
The first torch I received did not work. (Per responder Mr. Berard) I likely had some sort of clog either from manufacturing process or dirty propane. I left a message per the contact page late (1730) Friday evening and did not expect a response until Monday. I WAS contacted later that same evening. The issue or potential issue was explained and that a new torch was on its way.
Amazing customers service!!!! Would highly recommend for that reason alone!!!
I also would highly recommend for any fire enthusiast (starting fire for BBQ or fire places etc…. NOT firebugs). This torch is awesome!! I am an avid bbq nut and also have an outdoor fire place. You want a pit or fire place or smoke tubes ANYTHING on fire now. This the tool. Focused hot flame where ever it is pointed. I am guessing this is a relatively small business. Support THIS small business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Quality tool any live fire enthusiast should have. Allows you to control fire in ways you can't with regular starter methods.
Takes some time to figure where to pull the trigger to make it start.
Not what it is built up to be! When you put down in the charcoal, it goes out. You have to keep lighting it! Not that impressed for the $$$
