Torches for BBQ and charcoal lighting
Short answer. A propane torch lights charcoal in a chimney or grill in a few minutes and leaves no lighter-fluid taste. Pistol-grip models such as GF-8010 and GF-8011 are easy to aim into a grill and are listed on CE certificate GK 007996 001.
Why grill buyers switch to a torch
Lighter fluid and paraffin cubes leave a smell and take time. A torch puts flame directly on the charcoal, so the fire is ready faster and the food tastes of charcoal, not fuel.
What to look for
- A grip that keeps the hand away from the heat.
- A flame large enough to light several briquettes at once.
- Ignition that works with gloves on.
Selling tips
Pair a torch with a chimney starter or grill gloves for a seasonal bundle, and say clearly that the torch ships without gas.
