HomeRight's ElectroLight Fire Starter gets coals burning within 2-3 minutes

HomeRight’s ElectroLight Fire Starter gets coals burning within 2-3 minutes and with no lighter fluid or chimney.

1. Prepare your grill.

Using your HomeRight ElectroLight Fire Starter, you can save a TON of time without the need for lighter fluid or a chimeny! Simply add your charcoals, plug in your Fire Starter, then touch the tip of it to your coals for approximately 10-15 seconds. When you see the coals glow a slight orange, pull back the tip of your Fire Starter about 3 inches for about 2-3 minutes.  

“The Fire Starter works  great and would  be a big help for entertaining large groups,” said my brother-in-law, Johnnie. “If this was cordless, it would make grilling even easier.”
