## Overview

The TristarBQ-2819 Electric Barbecue Lighter is a powerful 800-watt device designed for quick and safe charcoal ignition. With its compact dimensions of 50 x 20.5 x 5.5 cm and lightweight design, it ensures a hassle-free grilling experience without the mess of traditional methods.

## Description

With the electric Tristar BQ-2819 grill lighter, you can let your charcoal grill quickly and easily. Place the lighter in the middle of charcoal or briquettes and turn it on. Within 15 minutes, the charcoal is glowing and you can start grilling. The lighter can be safely stored in the enclosed holder. Ideal for home and camping The electric grill lighter from Tristar runs out with the handling of matches, matches, and spiritus. The heating element heats the carbon from the middle. The heat dissipates very quickly and therefore you don't have to wait half an hour until you can finally start grilling. Combined with its small size, the lighter is perfect for the campsite. Thanks to the 1.5 m cable length, the lighter also has a wide range. Safe storage The Tristar electric grill lighter comes with a holder which allows you to store the lighter in the hot state. The holder can be mounted on a wall so it is not available for children and pets. The handle is also equipped with a heat protection in which the lighter can be held well and pulled out of the charcoal. When using, the handle must always remain out of the grill. Package includes: Tristar Grill Lighter Holder Reasons for choosing Tristar grill lighter: Quick and easy ignition of your charcoal grill. Heats coals and briquettes within 15 minutes, so you can quickly start barbecuing Due to the low ignition size ideal for camping vacations Well protected storage of the ignition in the holder, which can be fixed flat or to a wall Can be used anywhere due to 1.5 m long cable

Review: Brilliant bit of a kit. Used it now for 2 summers... - A Swedish friend had one of these and it seemed a great idea. We bought one and are now on our second year of use. We’ve used it numerous times during this glorious summer. It may seem crazy to be using electricity to light your barb, but it really does speed the lighting process up. I measured it at about 800 Watts (so a 1/3rd of an average electric kettle) No need for horrible self-lighting charcoal, just plug it in and 15-20 mins later the bbq’s going well. Cuts down on all the smoke and flames we normally associate with bbq’s. Cant recommend this product enough. Only negative could be the storage bracket, which is a bit flimsy and awkward.
Review: Easy lighting - Best BBQ lighters I have found - lights the BBQ in 15 minutes, no flame, no lighter fluid smell, and so far seem very robust as no moving parts.

Best BBQ lighters I have found - lights the BBQ in 15 minutes, no flame, no lighter fluid smell, and so far seem very robust as no moving parts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ho Hassle and No Mess
*by G***E on 30 May 2017*

Used this once and it was perfect. It took 10 minutes and the charcoal was lit perfectly. No Hassle and no mess. There was no residue to smell of lighting fluid. Will never go back to matches and lighting fluid every again.
