How long do they take to light with a regular lighter
1775795
It's not recommended to use a regular lighter to light these coals. They need about 3-5 minutes over stove size flame. Well worth the waiting as they last longer, burn better, don't smell, or taste bad.

They would take a really long time with a lighter. I use my stove and it takes 10-15 minutes. If you can't use the stove a small fire will sometime be a better alternative. I have not been able to use a lighter to light one it would just take too long.

You can't use a lighter. Period. Not even a triple flame torch lighter - I tried last night. No luck at all! I have a flat top stove and don't want to light these on there, so I ordered a single coil burner stove from Amazon the other day - just to light these things.

These aren't really meant to be lit with a lighter. But with a burner/stove top I would say 5-7 minutes.

A regular lighter wouldn't be very effective on these. They take about 3 minutes or so on the stove.

HAHA lets just put it this way; when you're done lighting them with a regular lighter, you'll have a full grown beard down to your toes and you'll be asking what year it is..They don't light with regular lighters..haUse a stove or torch.

Fill the charcoal chamber with unlit charcoal then place a small bit of lit charcoal on top of the unlit charcoal. The idea is that the lit charcoal will maintain a consistent heat and slowly light the charcoal on the bottom over the course of several hours giving you a long, consistent burn time.

This smoker uses 1 per 30 mins. So the quantity used each time varies on what you are smoking. On average, my smoking time is 2.5 hours - or about 5-60briquettes.

I've been getting around 7hrs without any intervention. Pile your lump charcoal w/ smoking chunks but only light one end and you'll get plenty of cooking time. I've kept it going for 14 hrs with two reloads. Just had my brothers over for a week and they are all looking at buying this setup and dumping the electric smokers they've got.

Roughly 15 minutes. They will burn when damp or wet due to humidity, rain or closeness to water sources like waterfalls/ocean too, so theyre ideal for camping or picnics. If they ever melt due to being left out in the sun, heat or you forget them in a closed truck, camper or car, they can still be used in bits and pieces.The only things I've found as cheap and easy to use are fire starter logs (break it hack off what you need, as needed; but I do this one for firepits not food cooking ), and the homemade ones where you melt paraffin wax into cardboard or paper egg cartons, and break off sections of that as needed.

No a match or lighter will light them easily and no flare up so they are safe. I used them the other day to burn a pile of brush. I used one on each side and it burned beautifully. Great product. I was using a chimney to light lump charcoal for my Kamado grill but the fire starter works great.

It is sold empty and you will need to buy lighter fluid separately. A filled lighter should last a month unused and two weeks depending on usage. They are easy to refill, just take the top off and fill with your preferred fluid. Also, is best to buy the flints and wicks upfront so you are covered when the need arises.

depends on what kind of tender you use and how skilled you are at using the fire starter. With good tender and practice only takes a min or 2

I use a regular lighter, the fuel contains some kind of wax, just be careful not to burn your hand with a hot drop of wax.

5 to 10 seconds. I have been using it for my bbq smokers all winter. I also have seen them used in bbq competitions I participated in.

I find they all last about thd same with the portable unit used for hunting lasting longer. I get almost 10 hours out of mine. The smallest lantern was the shortest burn time with about 5 hours.

one night we were doing a bbq outside and it was giving at least an hour of light: the light did not have full charge. the light is pretty bright.with full light it can give you a more than 1 hour i believe. but I don't know about 4 to 6. I don't think it is designed for this long or for constant light, This light turns off automatically if no movement.

I use a butane torch for about 20-30 seconds. The pellets light fast and will stay lit long enough to get a good burn going. Within a few minutes, the flame will generally burn itself out on it's own. If not, you can blow the flame out. After that the pellets smolder and produce the smoke.

It depends on how much my smoke time is. I plan for about 30-45 minutes per briquette. I also prefer a stronger smoke flavor.

I went to Walgreens and got a cheap $10 coil burner so I didn't have to light these on my stove. I throw them on till one side is glowing red flip it then wait for it all to glow. Usually takes like 10 minutes to light three.

Not long at all. I had to stop using mine. When you put batteries in you get about 8-9 good hours, then light begins to dim. It is worthless!!

Turn the fuel knob to the low position, push the small button in for 3 secondsand hold lighter or match close to the burner and it should light. Continue holdingthe button in for approx. 10-15 seconds and release. The heater should continueto burn and you may then adjust the knob to the desired heat position.
