Onward Manufacturing Electric Charcoal Starter

This electric charcoal starter is a simple, no-fuss tool that reliably lights my charcoal without any lighter fluid or messy smoke. It heats up quickly (I leave it in for about 6-7 minutes as recommended), and the coals are ready for grilling in 15-20 minutes total. The long handle and sturdy design keep my hands safe from the heat, and it's compact enough for easy storage. Great value for the price—highly recommend it for anyone tired of chimneys or chemical starters!

Worked well. Heated up very fast. Manufacturer recommends leaving it in no longer than 7 minutes, that seems about right. It wasn't quite as fast as starter chimney with starter fluid but a lot less work.

The charcoal lighter got the charcoal burning in about 8 minutes! Charcoal was almost all grey. Much faster than toxic lighter fluid. It immediately turns red hot. Looks very well made, not flimsy. The price was not expensive at all.

Firing up the grill just got a whole lot easier. No smelly lighter fluid! Just plug in and wait for the smoke. Love it.

Works great for starting charcoal so you don't get the lighter fluid taste.

Great gadget! I never have to use lighter fluid. Never have to wonder if it all burned off before grilling.

This is the quickest way to start charcoal without the lighter fluid taste and smell. Just don't drop it!

I use this to start a fire in my smoker. I get many uses out of it before having to purchase a replacement.

Cord is to short , starting charcoal in the grill would have to be right next to the house if using outside receptacles
