Primo Electric Charcoal Starter

The Primo Electric Charcoal Starter lights lump charcoal with a heating element instead of fluid, paper or a torch. You bury the element in the charcoal, plug it in, and it glows hot enough to set the lump immediately around it alight. Once that patch has caught, unplug it, pull it out, and rest it somewhere non-combustible while it cools — the fire spreads on its own from there. It suits anyone who lights a fire often. There is nothing to run out of and nothing to restock, no petroleum smell drifting up out of the firebox, and no waiting for a fluid to burn off before food can go on. The one thing it does need is power within reach of where the grill lives, so it is a better fit for a grill that stays put on a patio than for one you carry to a campsite. Keep it dry, and give it a clear path down into the coals rather than forcing it between large chunks. It works with any charcoal cooker in the Primo ceramic charcoal grills range and burns nothing but the Primo 100% Natural Lump Charcoal you already have in the bag. If you would rather have something that needs no outlet at all, Primo Quick Lights Firestarters do the same job from a match. More Primo grill accessories are worth a look alongside it.
