HOW TO LIGHT CHARCOAL LIGHTING A CHARCOAL GRILL IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD PROCESS WITH THE LOOFT LIGHTER X IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Make a pyramid/pile 2. Touch and light Arrange your charcoal (or briquettes) in a pyramid shape in the corner of your grill. This will make the lighting part much easier. Start by locating smaller charcoal pieces in the middle of the pile. Make sure you touch those pieces with the tip of your Looft Lighter X and press the Burn button.
3. Pull back and continue aiming towards the same spot When the charcoal starts to glow, pull your Looft Lighter X back an inch or two. This will help the heat to spread. It is important that you continue to aim towards the same spot (rather than lighting multiple locations). We highly recommend switching to Air mode during this step.
HOW TO LIGHT CHARCOAL 4. Fast forward or kick back and relax b. Kick back and relax Once the glow has spread to a few pieces in your charcoal pile you can either fast forward the process with your Looft Lighter X or kick back and relax and wait for the charcoal to be grill-ready on its own. Once the glow has spread to a few pieces in your charcoal pile, put your Looft Lighter X aside, ventilate your grill and the forces of nature will do the rest.
