Phil Evans Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi got some globaltic birch charcoal, I found it took a hell of a long time to light and get going even struggled with the looflighter . Am I missing something here or do you need some special fluid for it ? using it on a Kamado joe thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I have a Monolighter (pretty much the same as a looflighter) and I have found some brands take quite a bit longer than others to light. Some brands i have had to give and extra blast since the 1st try was not sufficient. My guess is its just down to the type of wood used and how dense it is🤔. I have not used globatic charcoal before sorry so I cant comment on that particular brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamG Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 how long does it take to light with the looflighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Took at least 20 mins last night before I even got a glow normally takes about 3 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamG Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 That is a really long time. Mine normally takes 2-4mins depending on the brand however the longest was only about 6 minutes. Is there any dampness in the bottom of the bag? Not sure why it would take that long to light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Doesn’t appear to be however it was ripped slightly on delivery but nothing other than that . Iv spoken to Globaltic they have asked me to do a video when I next light it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
