What lights briquettes? Holy Crap, $40 and amazon has it on backorder for 2 months!
I think you still have to light it with paper/starter cubes/burner/ etc, but the fan speeds up the process. Would have been cool if it had a flame coming out of it.
That's my thought exactly. It looks like you still have to provide a flame source. At first I thought that there was a built in heating element that would light the charcoal for you, so no lighter was needed. This is just a little fan though.
Note to self, design charcoal chimney that works off battery packs and has an electric element for lighting the charcoal.
