The Charcoal Companion CC4110 Fire Up™ Charcoal Starter Wand is an environmentally friendly way to ignite your charcoal without using toxic lighter fluid! The starter can light charcoal briquettes, wood chips, chunks or pellets with ease. Two simple switches take your charcoal from cold to smoldering in a matter of minutes. Switch one will ignite the briquettes, then use switch two to blow hot air onto the flames, to speed up the spread of glowing briquettes. The starter also has a built-in kickstand to prop the hot wand off of its resting surface.
