In a HOT Flash
I have only used the starter once lightening a charcoal pile to BBQ. It worked just as described. A
what a beast!
I am looking forward to using this up at a guest ranch where I'll be working soon. So far this starter has exceeded my expectations. I will need it to get wood stoves started quickly, the water in the hot tub and the stove in the sauna heating up for guests. I'll continue the review after this trip!
Great camping accessory
Initially I was concerned when I got this, it was very hard to light, the switch was very difficult to use...my honey was getting very agitated because he couldn’t start a fire, and he got lighter fluid. The next morning, we picked it back up to try and use... worked like a charm. Had a roaring fire all day, the air blower was very useful. And of course my honey forgot the charging cord, but it lasted 3 days of camping without dying. We are going camping again, looking forward to a roaring fire again
Good lighter
I would like to see an improved fueling mechanism but works OK until they work out that improvement.
Fire Power!
This was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. Should we have guests over and he has to start up the grill or the fire pit, there is always an oooo aaahhh from someone. Most importantly it works well.

A portable air-driven fire lighter that jets a 4-inch flame, instantly igniting charcoal and wood before delivering airflow to quickly spread flames.
Whether you're trying to light a campfire, charcoal grill, or wood stove, fire-starting can be a time-consuming, smoky, and smelly process. But with Bison Airlighter's super-charged butane lighter, you can go from zero to lit in seconds flat. There’s no need for chemical starters or lighter fluid.
Developed by The Bison Company in upstate New York, the commercial grade Airlighter jets a 4-inch, 2600 degree flame and fans it with pure air, quickly dispersing the blaze throughout a wood or charcoal pile. In less than 5 minutes a smoking hot fire is ready when you are (perfect for getting food on the grill quickly). An adjustable grip and extended barrel make the Airlighter easy to strategically place, while special technology leaves the handle cool to the touch.
With a child-proof lock, integrated LED flashlight and bottle opener, this handy tool will be a favorite essential, indoors and out, all year long.
