The Airlighter Advantage

Airlighters are the only fire lighters that combine a torch flame with an air-blower to both ignite and boost your fire.  They ignite coals in 10-20 seconds, accelerate your fire to high heat in 1 minute or less, and have you ready to cook in only 5-6 minutes.  Enjoy cleaner tasting food and say goodbye to unwanted lighter fluid taste.

For Best Results, Use Bison Fuel

Airlighter's performance and reliability is dependent on good quality butane and the right filling nozzle. We highly recommend using Bison branded fuel because the filling nozzle and fuel has been tested to work well. Low quality butane can create difficulty filling, possibly clog the internal jets and create a weak performing flame. The Airlighter will still work with other butane brands but we cannot guarantee the performance, reliability, or ease-of-filling of your Airlighter.
