Electric Charcoal Lighter 2000W, 230V UK Plug, 26cm Aluminium Alloy Tube

Light charcoal for a barbecue, kamado or smoker with this electric charcoal lighter, featuring a 26cm aluminium alloy tube, heat-resistant construction and a 2 metre power cord. The 230V UK Plug version is rated at 2000W and is intended for compatible UK power supplies.

Rather than relying on lighter fluid, the tool directs heated air towards the charcoal. Its long tube helps keep your hand away from the immediate heat, while the integrated stand provides a place to rest the lighter between uses.

What can this electric charcoal lighter be used for?

This lighter is designed for outdoor cooking and fire-lighting tasks involving charcoal and solid fuel. It can be used with barbecue charcoal, including kamado-style cooking setups, and is also pictured for use with grills, smokers, fire pits, campfires, wood stoves and fireplaces.

• Start charcoal for a barbecue or smoker.
• Help get a kamado cooking setup ready.
• Direct heat towards charcoal in a grill or fire pit.
• Light suitable solid fuel in a wood stove, fireplace or campfire setting.

Always use it in a suitable, well-ventilated area and keep the hot tube away from people, flammable objects and surfaces that could be damaged by heat.

How does the lighter operate?

The handle has a single-button on/off control for straightforward operation. The perforated aluminium alloy tube directs the heated air towards the fuel, and the tube is specified with a maximum temperature of 600°C. The tool has a heat-resistant feature, but the tube and surrounding parts will become very hot during use.

Allow the lighter to cool fully before handling, moving or storing it. Do not touch the metal tube while hot, and do not leave the powered lighter unattended.

Which plug and electrical rating should I choose?

Choose the option that matches both your socket type and local electrical supply. The available versions are:

• 230V UK Plug: 230V~50Hz, rated power 2000W.
• 230V EU Plug: 230V~50Hz, rated power 2000W.
• 110V US Plug: 110V~60Hz, rated power 1500W.

For shoppers in the UK, select the 230V UK Plug option. Check the plug and electrical rating carefully before use. Do not use a version that does not match your available supply, and do not assume that an adaptor changes the tool's voltage requirement.

What are the main dimensions and materials?

The perforated heating tube measures 26cm in length and has a stated 1mm tube thickness. The power cord measures 2m. The overall tool is shown at approximately 45cm long, giving it useful reach when positioning the heated tube over charcoal.

The tube is made from aluminium alloy and the handle is made from Bakelite. The contrasting handle and metal tube provide a practical hand-held format, with shaped grip sections and an integrated stand beneath the tube.

How should it be stored after use?

Switch the lighter off using the button and unplug it after use. Leave it in a safe position until the tube has cooled completely. Keep the cord tidy during storage and store the tool somewhere dry, away from children and combustible materials. The model number is BQA1637A.
