Break Out Your Lighters

My instant hatred of The Datsuns debut made me sit up and take notice.  This Australian quartet all with the surname of "Datsun" play goofy straight on rock and roll with no pretense or, it seemed, talent.  Surely, these riff-heavy tunes with titles like "Lady" and "MF from Hell" were pulling my leg.  Until the three chord vamp of "Harmonic Generator" reminded me of the beloved New York Dolls, and soon enough these ten songs kicked in like cocaine.  They'll remind you of AC/DC, Kiss, MC5, Foghat(!), Alice Cooper, so many glorious crunchy 70's rock and rollers you'll be tempted to perm your hair, break out your lighter, and scream "Hello, Cleveland"!

Driving happily down the highway listening to my music, the smell of burning electronics suddenly filled the cabin. I quickly looked down and saw smoke pouring out of the Bestek cig. lighter adapter.  I unplugged it and pulled over. Fortunately, no other damage was done, but the car stank of burning Bestek.

Now, in full disclosure I suspect one of the cables I was using was defective and overloading, but there should have been some auto-shut-off before it self-combusted.

Needless to say, I do not recommend you buy this product.

These light very easily and give an intense and long enogh lasting fire to start the smoker.  I've actually broken them in half and that works for me!

My girlfriend and myself were ddriving  home this afternoon when all of a sudden I noticed wisps of smoke rapidly coming from somewhere.  By the time I realized it was the cable, the entire cab of the car was almost filed with very grayish, blackish caustic smelling smoke. I unplugged it immediately, but it EASILY could have caused an accident.  It scared the life out of both of us!

Great lighter. I don't like the new safety feature though. Sometimes its hard to flip up the safety latch while you press the button to light the lighter. Would recommend it.

These things are the best, but as others have mentioned, I wish I could buy these in a local store.  I have used these for two years now and absolutely love them. I just pop one under my charcoal chimney, light it and in a few minutes we're good to go.  I actually just bought six boxes of these so I could stock up for the year.  I highly recommend these firestarters!  Say goodbye to lighter fluid!

Bought this a long time ago and I'm on my second lighter. Definitely worth the money just in lost lighters.

These are a short term cheaper fix for a stinger that has a burnt out bulb. They go without warning, so if you are not going to upgrade to a LED for your flashlight, you better keep a few of these on hand, and you should practice changing them out in the dark and under stress. Best bet is to go out to your cattle in the middle of the night and have people whooping it up around them while someone sprays you with a hose. Throw some barking dogs into the mix, or a skunk and you should get proficient enough to keep these on hand. You need to carry these with you all the time when you are using your flashlight. Mine went over four years working perfectly and then suddenly went without being dropped or giving any warning.

If you are on youtube, you have seen these.  So the fill lights are bomb and you need them. Don't play like you don't. Lighting is everything. Ask Mariah Carey.

Makes a regular cheap lighter into a fairly good torch.  Less susceptible to wind blow out, more focused heat and the lighters just seem to light easier.  I does take quite a bit of strength to trigger it.

these things are great - you just need to break off a little piece of each and it'll burn for 3-4 minutes.  No-brainer substitute for newspaper to start a fire at home or at the campsite.

I love this little product.  You remove the little cap from your tire valve then screw the hose on to the valve and plug it into your lighter and turn it on.  Great product.

I received the flashlight today and connected it to the car charger and the charger started smoking . If theirs is anything you can do about it

This "lighter" is great to have around, but after several months of use, I have gone back to using chimney starters to light my charcoal. However I still find this to be useful for getting already lit coals hot again for searing.

The lighter requires that you stand over the coals for several minutes, until one area lights, then you must move on to the next area that you wish to light. Depending on your temperature preferences, this can give you precision control to only partially light or fully light the coals.

With a chimney, you pretty much get "set and forget" convenience, which even though it may take 20-30 to fully light, you get 20-30 minutes to do anything else. With the lighter, you need 5-10 minutes standing there, so you may end up saving 10-15 minutes to when the coals are fully lit. But I almost always have some additional prep work when it comes to grilling, so if you just start the chimney first, then do 20-30 minutes or prep work, the chimney hardly costs you any time at all..

Where I find that this does come in handy is when you use a "slow and sear" type approach. I light the initial batch of charcoal with the chimney, which are in my Weber Kettle using a "Slow 'n Sear" insert. During the indirect cooking phase, the charcoals are lit but aren't usually as hot enough for my preferred sear. So after I've cooked the meat through indirectly, I remove the grill grate entirely and use the lighter to get the charcoals flaming hot again. Then I replace the grate and finish cooking by searing under a minute per side on the freshly lit (or re-lit) charcoals that are now extra hot.

Pros:
- Perfect for getting already lit coals extra hot for searing
- Handy tool to complement (but not replace) other lighting methods
- Seemingly durable; although it did overheat once (see below)

Cons:
- You must stand and hold the lighter for several minutes at a time, pointing at various areas in the grill to fully light the coals; comparatively, a chimney takes less than 20 seconds to fill and light
- Because it takes 5 minutes or more to light, this is time that could be spent on prep work
- The lighter can overheat (mine quit working out of a sudden, but after 15 minutes or so it started working again)

Cool novelty item. I tested them and they lit up on first strike right away. The wicks were already a little wet with lighter fluid upon arrival.  I don't recommend overfilling these with lighter fluid. About a teaspoon of lighter fluid in each would be enough. I don't think wicks are replaceable but it works on burning the fluid off the wick so as long as the wicks aren't dry they will last a very long time. This wouldn't be your go to lighter if you smoke but this would definitely be a fire starter for camping and keeping one in your backpack or outdoor gear.
