A brushless motor and HyperBoost push 30% more air, and the element heats that air to 760°C, so charcoal catches in about a minute and a big firebox comes up to speed fast. Looft Industries was founded in Sweden in 2004 by Richard Looft, who set out to build one after a chicken at his daughter's birthday barbecue came off tasting of lighter fluid. His first prototype was charcoal in a bread toaster with an old vacuum cleaner blowing air through it — sparks in seconds. Today the Looftlighter is sold in more than 30 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Pro adds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHyperBoost:\u003c\/strong\u003e An extra air mode with 30% more airflow to stoke the fire once it's caught.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto ignition program:\u003c\/strong\u003e A built-in lighting cycle for a more hands-off start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e An extra safeguard the Classic doesn't have.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaceable heat shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e An aluminium shield that can be swapped out if it ever wears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrushless motor:\u003c\/strong\u003e The powerplant behind the extra airflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush the tip into your pile of charcoal, chunks or logs and hold it in the same spot for about 60 seconds.
