How Fast Can The BBQ Dragon Light a Full Chimney Of Briquettes?

[@meatcranium4280]

I use mine every time I cook with charcoal. I have gotten mine lit in 2 1/2 minutes. It could depend on elevation too. It’s still an impressive device. Thanks for sharing

That bad boy supercharged lighting that chimney. 3, 5, or 7 minutes? Who cares? It’s sure as heck beats a natural draft! Nice video, Tom. Thanks.

Kenneth Brunsman Thanks Kenneth! I appreciate you Watching!

Great video..BBQ dragon looks like it works great but the sparks make me nervous..I have lots of trees.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Eastside Badger Thanks For Watching! The “sparks” are very little, it works Awesome!

[@eastsidebadger8416]

Tom Horsman Then I will have to get one..beats 30 minutes with my Weber chimney!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Eastside Badger You will be impressed!

You can get 8" x8" piece of heavy steel screen or expanded metal at the hardware store. Cover the top of the chimney and it will hold most of the sparks back. Try it

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Great tip!

Just ordered one for a Weber Summit Charcoal. The built in gas ignition lights coals in the lower grate position in 10 -15, but in the upper grate position it takes longer and uses alot of propane. My hope is that the Dragon will outperform gas ignition for cooks in the higher grate position.

Thanks for Watching! You’ll be amazed!

They now sell a grill grate to put on top of the chimney. Get that red hot and I think you might get a good sear on your steak.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Ted! I actually have the grate from BBQ Dragon that fits on top, just haven’t used it yet

Hey Tom! I'm a Fan.....of Yours and of Fans used in many ways! ;-) 🔥👍

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Heavy Metal Bar-B-Que Fans are good Ken! Thanks for Watching!

I bought the charcoal grill so I can call the wife to tell her to light the coal while I'm on the way home from work. She's scared of propane. But this product is awesome

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Christopher! Thanks for the feedback!

[@pkmatt6516]

That was pretty impressive. I've seen ads, but great to see it actually put to the test! Also, those Weber kettle shelves you mention briefly look pretty cool. I need to make more space in the yard so I can get my Weber kettle back out again...

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks Matt! The shelves are awesome!

[@lahainaboy761]

I'm sure if you used Kingsford blue it would light in about 3 minutes. I normally use royal oak and that stuff is little harder to get going than Kingsford. But still 7min is great!!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

lahainaboy761 Thanks For Watching! Good advice!

[@Armadillopepper]

Nice tool for impatient people like myself.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

ArmadilloPepper.com Thanks Jeff! We are both impatient!

linda parker Thanks Linda!

[@arakafafian]

You waited 90 seconds to max power it? Try max firing the second you start you will be going in 3 minutes.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Ara Kafafian Thanks For Watching! Good advice!

[@ccclaw13]

Yeah their own KZbin channel says to put it on max from the get go too so definitely try it

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching!

[@ccclaw13]

@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ thanks for the vid! I just ordered one. Gotta try it! I have this curse of always starting the grill too late before guests are coming over because I forget it takes 30+ minutes alone to get the chimney ready. I was looking at the looftlighter but this seems like it has way more applications and it's cheaper

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Congrats!

[@JoseRodriguez-tb1js]

You can do it in 3 if you use a good fire starter. I recommend dragon eggs.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Good idea! Thanks for watching!

[@alanosborne1947]

I'm on my second blower because the first one just stopped working. I contacted BBQ customer service and told them my blower stopped working and they replaced it with a new one. When I got the replacement blower I immediately put new batteries in it and guess what IT DIDN'T WORK!!! I played around with it smacked it with my hand twisted the blower neck around and it finally started blowing after bumping it a couple of more times. It started blowing slowly and then finally picked up speed. It has done this numerous times and now it won't blow at all. This thing is a piece of junk and not worth the money they charge for it. I did email customer service about the second blower not working and to date I have not gotten a reply...DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAP!!!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Alan! Sorry to hear that, haven’t had any issues with mine
