ROCKETFIRE Fire Starter Torch - Fast Charcoal & Grill Ignition

In this review the ROCKETFIRE Fire Starter Torch is judged on reliability and speed for outdoor cooks and casual campers. The bottom line: this torch is best for anyone who wants a fast, matchless way to light charcoal, wood, or a Big Green Egg-style cooker; its tri-flame tip and 25,000 BTU output get coals glowing in seconds. The included robust storage case and adjustable flow control make it practical to carry and tune, and the build with stainless steel, brass, and aluminum gives it a solid, tool-like feel.

Key Features

• Tri-Flame Tip: Produces concentrated high heat so charcoal and wood ignite quickly without liquid accelerants.
• High Heat Output: With about 2,000 degree heat and 25,000 BTUs, the torch reaches ignition temperatures in seconds for fast startup.
• Flexible Fuel Compatibility: Works with standard CGA600 canisters using Propane, Butane, Iso-butane, MAPP, or MAP-PRO fuels for wide fuel options.
• Adjustable Fuel Control: The Flow Control Regulator Knob lets users fine tune flame size for grill lighting or delicate kitchen tasks like caramelizing.
• Robust Storage Case: A thermal-proof cavity, dedicated cone pocket, and wrap-around zipper protect the tip and make transport safer and neater.
• Durable Construction: Stainless steel, brass, and aluminum components resist wear and feel sturdy during repeated outdoor use.

Who It's For

The torch is ideal for backyard grillers, kamado and ceramic cooker owners, and campers who want a reliable, fast way to light charcoal and fire pits without matches or kindling. It is also useful in the kitchen for finishing techniques like searing sous vide steaks or caramelizing creme brulee where a handheld torch is required.

Those who need an integrated fuel supply should look elsewhere since fuel is not included, and users who want an electric or battery-operated ignition rather than a fuel torch may prefer a different tool. Performance can decrease with cold propane, so users in very cold climates should store fuel at room temperature for best results.
