Title: Awesome product
Review: I've used this product for several years. This is my second one. Great to start the fire instead of lighter fluids that way you don't get the smell or taste on your meats.

Title: If you don't have one, get one
Review: This is simple and works great, no more charcoal lighter fluid or chimneys to buy. Just pour your charcoal over the element, plug it up, and 20-25 min later, take the starter out, spread the coals, and you're ready to cook.

Title: Great except short cord length
Review: I use this on my big green egg. What’s great about using a heating element is there is no toxic additives to the lump charcoal. Using Vaseline (toxic petroleum), or wood starters are full of bad stuff. Heating element is ideal.I tried using a heat gun. The issue was a plastic smell was put on the lump. Stopped using a heat gun.I had a China generic heat element that I bought here on amazon 7 years ago. Worked well. But if eventually started tripping the circuit. The wires wore out and touched.I bought this product. It heats up really fast. 8 min timer on the coals is all you need. Trusted charbroil name and it does heat up faster than the previous Chinese unit I owned.The only problem is the cord is only 2 ft long. If they just would have made it 5 feet long it would be a lot better. Now you have to get an extension cord.Instead I took an older computer power cable soldered the wires and taped. And now I have a longer cord. This solved the short cord problem and putting a lot of extra junk (extension cord) on my deck.If this was helpful pleas give me a thumbs up

Title: Good charcoal starter
Review: It works really well, my only complaint is the cord is to short. It should be about a foot longer.

Review: I had a bbq starter like this back in the 90s, but this time around I couldn’t find a decently priced one anywhere until this came along. Works quickly and the price was great
