OK, here's my first attempt at linking a photo. This shows my five pound, triggered, starter.

I agree. The trigger propane torch is a great charcoal lighter.
A recent modification happened when my one pound ball ran low. I had a five pound ball with a long length of hose, ending in the kind of fitting that the one pounders use.
Much better. The problem with the one pounder is that since it is hard connected to the trigger, the propane ball has to go sideways or upside down as you direct the flame down into the charcoal.
The liquid then runs down and eventually chokes down the vapour propane coming out.
With a five pound bottle sitting on the ground, however, the six foot long hose is enough to reach into the charcoal, and the liquid is always in the bottom half of the ball. Only propane vapour pours up the hose. A much stronger and consistent flame, and lighter to hold.

I use one of these:
Bernzomatic Trigger-Start Torch Kit (BZ8250HTKC)
These are absolutely fantastic. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
