I do this sometimes when lighting a full chimney of coal.

I use the torch for smaller smokes.

I also use the torch to light smoke tubes.

I have a really nice weed burner wand but wanted something more compact. Probably not necessary though.

I'd be curious of which one? I did a bunch of research.

I edited my post. Price went up since I bought it.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I have been watching reviews and comparing prices but Im always happy to hear what other people like and what works for them.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Looks like Tom got his at half Price probably free shipping so that would have been a better deal but I paid $20 less than the current price on Amazon so I'm happy with that.

Somebody's living dangerously. Yikes!

Did I need it... No lol

@Eric-NH I still may pick up a high pressure burner. Can't have too many grill toys!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I think you can get as good or better for less $$$

edit: looks like prices have gone up since I bought mine.

I have this one. I bought it a couple of years ago for $25 currently $43

I like the long reach of this torch when lighting coal near the back of the WSK or down deep in my BGE

This is what I already have. I just wanted to try something more compact but I could definitely see the longer reach being more effective on some grills.

Josh, I have one of those as well. Great for searing a steak. Or burning weeds.

I have one of those “weed burner” torches, but I never thought of using my propane turkey frier burner under a charcoal starter. That’s pretty cool - actually hot - and I am sure runs circles around using a couple starter cubes!

For lighting coals the burners in the performers do an admirable job. I could see if you wanted an expedited lighting to use a torch. I’ve always been interested in the torches more for their searing capabilities.

I'm still old school with chimneys - so happy to have scored a 'small' chimney - that I have only used once, but will TOTALLY replace the 'big' chimney. I didn't think I needed one of those 'short torches' before, but I would really like one --- pissed that I didn't pick one up a couple of years ago when they were like $12-15..... I wouldn't pay $40 for one - EVER.

Having a 1# bottle refill adapter - that I got off of amazon for $4 - and four bottles now kinda opens up many possibilities.... I REFUSED to pay $7+ for ONE # of propane when I can get 20# for $10.
