You can’t grill without a flame, and if you’re a traditionalist, you’re using charcoal. But lighting charcoal with matches can be tough, and no one likes the taste of lighter fluid. Fortunately, the Looftlighter is a handheld wand that ignites charcoal, briquettes, wood, or pretty much anything else you need to get grilling in 60 seconds using super-heated air. You’ll need an electric outlet to use it, but the Looftlighter has a nine-foot cord, so there’s some flexibility. It also has an integrated bottle cap opener, and in cooler weather doubles as a great way to light a fireplace.
