Unboxing and Review – Ozito Electric Charcoal Starter
I have been in the market for a while for a new fire starter. Like everything that I get invested in I have done a heap of research and there is a number of great products on the market – some them are over in my shop. Here you will find my Unboxing and Review – Ozito Electric Charcoal Starter
Up until now, I have not had the time to actually place an order online for a new one.
After my Lasagne cook, my trusty old heat gun died, meaning for the subsequent cooks I have resorted to the boring old firelighter block, nowhere near as much fun as a heat gun!
RIP my little buddy, you have served me well. I think it was the combination of old age and the charcoal dust being sucked through the inner workings of the motor.
So this weekend I know I wanted to light the Kamado Joe Classic, and I certainly wanted to seek out a new heat gun/firefighter. I, fortunately, have a Bunnings about 2 minutes from my house so over I went on a mission to see what they had in stock.
Not a lot of choice in terms of hot air firelighters as the Ozito was the only one of this style on the shelf.
For under $40 I was prepared to take the risk and if it only lasts a couple of times, then so be it. Not too much lost.
