"This is my second purchase of this kit. Works great, fire gets going much quicker and more evenly. Simple to use."
"Love it!! Great quality product!"
"I have only used it once so far but ignition of the charcoal was fine. Since I have a stock of the regular square lighters my next thing to do is see how they work in the tool as I don’t want to waste them. Then I will get the new lighter blocks. One thing I did notice was a lot more smoke coming from the lower vent than usual. That did settle down eventually."
"Started right up and there was a lot less mess. Definitely getting one for my other house"
"This new quick light kit is amazing! Makes lighting grill super easy and quick!"
"The result was fantastic, however as this is a first gen of its kind, there is an issue. The starter roll sitting in the cradle of the starter won’t fit in the opening at the bottom of the large green egg. I had to insert the holder, then wedge the starter roll in and lie it on top of the holder already inside the green egg. That was cumbersome and not the intended use, however once that was inside, I lit the starter roll and it worked beautifully."
"I understand the importance of air flow starting the Egg. I’ve only used the Kit once. For the cost, not sure the value is there. I think I will cut the starter log in half and bury half in the lump charcoal and light the other half as planned under the new grate. Maybe that will convince me it was worth $150."
"Just used this and it worked great. I have a kick ash basket and can. I set the grate on top of the can and the basket on top of the grate. Everything fit well. From lighting to white coals took about 20-25 minutes or one beer. I am curious if this is a bit more of a solution to a problem that didn’t exist. I could also say that if you have a kick ash basket and can, then you really only need the lighting wand thing and not the grate. All of that said, quality is on par for BGE. Solid materials and very effective for what it is designed to do. Would recommend for those of us that like gadgets."
"I have used it once and thus far I am very happy with it. It is easy to use and seems to get my lump charcoal going much faster that the old way of putting lighter tabs in the top of the charcoal pile/"
"I have been very pleased with this new tool. I plan to purchase another one for another Green Egg that I have at another house."
