NEWS – It’s not really a flame thrower, but you won’t need charcoal starter fluid for your grill or those little paraffin-soaked starter bundles for your fireplace anymore.  The Bison Airlighter is made of plastic and stainless steel.  It is CPSC compliant, and it has a child safety lock to prevent accidental ignition.  The lighter uses butane fuel, and it needs batteries to power an air blower.  A typical charcoal barbecue requires about 1 minute of fan time to be fully lighted or about 5 minutes before you are ready to cook.
