Airlighter® 520 - BBQ Fire Starters

Regular price$99.95
/

The Airlighter ® 520 is the faster, cleaner, and safer way to light BBQs, campfires, wood fireplaces, firepit starters, and just about any other fire, including charcoal briquettes. It also serves as a versatile cooking tool, perfect for searing meat or caramelizing sugars and more.

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.

The Airlighter 520 Advantage

  • No more lighter fluid flavor with this cordless lighter.
  • Light and stoke fires without moving coals or wood.
  • Ideal for charcoal briquettes and lump charcoal.
  • Torch lighter with air-cooled operation keeps the Airlighter cool to the touch.
  • Unlike chimney starters or typical electric starters, you don't have to worry about where to store it after use—it remains cool enough to not burn furniture or children.

Important: Airlighters do not come with fuel. Airlighter Fuel or other butane needs to be purchased separately. 

We highly recommend using Bison branded fuel ONLY. 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.
