Questions & Answers
Is it 220 or 221?
Asked by Jack May 16, 2018I presume you meant "110 or 220"? If so, it's definitely 110V (a.k.a. 120V) with a "normal" 3-prong wall plug (NEMA 5-15). Wattage is 550W, so no risk of popping a fuse or breaker.
How hot does it get
Asked by wayne April 25, 2018Like an electric stove element on high (it glows red).
Is the started compatible with Vision Kamado ceramic grills?
Asked by Mike March 31, 2017I wouldn't let this thing touch the actual grilles (grates), and there's no reason that I can think of to do so.
How to use it with the grill?
Asked by Leah July 12, 2017You just stick the loop in your pile of charcoal and plug it in. Watch out! It gets as hot as an electric stove element on "HIGH".
How many volts does it carry?
Asked by TCake June 5, 2016It operates on normal household 120V power @ 550W (so, around 4.5 amps).
Will this work on enough charcoal to fill the coal grate?
Asked by Juststarting November 27, 2017The starter only lights the fuel it's actually touching, which in turn lights the fuel around that. Even when using chemical starters, you should only be trying to light the "heart" of the fuel pile, in furtherance of the aforementioned chain reaction.
how many amps is this product
Asked by chele August 12, 2017We can divide the given wattage (550W) by the voltage (120V) to get the current in amps (~4.6A).
Is this device waterproof
Asked by Zamora January 9, 2017No, this device is not waterproof.
Will this be sufficient if I am home alone and need to burn a potential burglar's hand if hung on...
Asked by Kevin December 2, 2020No wouldn't hang it on the inside; could set the door on fire. I hope this is a joke.
Can this be used inside of a steel fence post for a wood bending iron? I have seen a few picture...
Asked by WoodBendingIron January 11, 2021Absolutely not, it is not intended for such use and will be dangerous to use in that manner. Mike
