Bought this today seems to be the best price around. On eBay I've seen it go for around $50 shipped. seems very cheap for $29. They guy told me they are trying to clear the stock and it doesn't seem to be showing up on their website.

I bought one and used it today it really does work wonders on heat briquettes. lights in seconds.

The Looftlighter is the fastest way of lighting a barbecue or hearth fire as it only takes about 60 seconds. After the ignition you can either leave the BBQ to get ready on its own or speed up the process by using the Looftlighter by continue towards the same spot and get the charcoal ready in just a few minutes.
Igniting fires and BBQ's takes just a few seconds

The patented hot airstream process eliminates the chemical taste that infuses onto food when using lighter fluid and gas

Equipped with a safety casing

Does not throw flames

Speeds up heating process of coals and fire

    Bunnings price on these goes up and down all the time.
    I got mine for $20 a few years ago, and then it was up to $50 again since.

  • Pobman on 22/08/2015 - 20:32

    Are these new models, wasn't there some regulatory problem previously with this device here in Oz?

    I use one and it's a great little tool.

    Edit: Also people on Aussie BBQ forum were posting getting them for $10 to 15 from Bunnings in June/July.. a couple of receipt scans were posted.

    • Sometingwong on 22/08/2015 - 20:38

      Well never the less its a great product. there was a recall a while ago but they fixed it up and now they are as good as ever!!!.

      • Pobman on 22/08/2015 - 20:47

        Might nip in and swap my one out for a new one then… I did not take it back when they recalled them as it was so useful!

        If you want to get going really quick use a BBQ lighter block and the looflighter, its like a mini flame thrower then :)

    Why does the name of this device make me think of the German air force / plane in WW2.

  • geek001 on 22/08/2015 - 21:40

    Thank you for telling me about this invention. I gave you a upvote, not sure if it is a good price, but you have certainly changed my life! :)

  • ashar on 22/08/2015 - 22:04

    Which bunnings?

  • nerd1 on 22/08/2015 - 22:38

    didn't someone post on aussiebbq site something about a cheap heatgun to light briquettes? sounds like someone ran with the idea

  • ssjmark on 22/08/2015 - 22:52

    This looks great!
    Wish I knew about it before I bought a second chimney.. a single chimney wasn't providing enough lit charcoal for my grill..

    • Utopian on 23/08/2015 - 18:58

      I drilled holes in infant-formula cans. Better than bought, and free!

      • ssjmark on 23/08/2015 - 21:33

        Good idea!
        I need some hole saw bits though.

        • Utopian on 23/08/2015 - 23:35

          I used ~10mm drill, after ~3mm pilot drill. Fast, low pressure. Only thin metal. Ton of holes. Holds ~1kg beads each.

          Only so-many tins can be used for bolts n bits :D

          Sometimes I cheat, and sit them on the bbq burner to get cherry red fast.

  • l-p on 22/08/2015 - 23:39

    A base of EasyLites then normal beads ontop with a hair drier does the trick. If you really want to shine, then use a blower vac :) hasta la vista baby

    • Sometingwong on 22/08/2015 - 23:58

      or just use this for a couple of mins and save money on easylites as well as all that other stuff :)

  • diddy50 on 23/08/2015 - 09:20

    Hair dryer works just like this if you can get away with using your wife's one…

    • ashar on 23/08/2015 - 09:39

      Your hair dryer sir must be from out of this world!

      You do a have a good idea (which does work) but this is superior!

        The tight arse in me says, use the hairdryer, cause it is free.

          The tight arse in me says, use the hairdryer, cause it is free.

          Plus there's the added bonus of your wife's hair smelling of BBQ!

    • Chimichanga on 23/08/2015 - 10:32

      what part? guy at the end even says it's good. These have legendary status in the bbq forums.

  • saintbanger on 23/08/2015 - 11:14

    just bought for $15 at Bunnings Croydon

    • Chimichanga on 23/08/2015 - 11:55

      Same here, $15 at West Footscray, Altona was out. they said "new" version is coming but nothing new about it, just packaging.

  • svenson on 23/08/2015 - 15:41

    Heat gun works too

  • yogo on 23/08/2015 - 16:01

    can someone upload receipt for price match?

    thats if i can find it.

  • ElusiveA on 23/08/2015 - 16:19

    Anyone found any in WA?

  • nerd1 on 23/08/2015 - 16:33

    went into local bunnings and they don't have it. the guy looked it up on their website and can't find it either.

    • chillipaste on 23/08/2015 - 22:01

      same, nothing in the collingwood store in melbourne

  • Parapower on 23/08/2015 - 16:50

    I use one like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Auto-Ignition-Flamethrower-Burner… to light the wood charcoal in my egg smoker. No power cords and a canister of gas lasts ages.

  • Hunnypooh on 23/08/2015 - 20:02

    shall have a look at my local bunnings. hopefully they have 1!

  • robop72 on 24/08/2015 - 12:15

    Anyone found these in South / South East suburbs of Melbourne? No luck at scoresby or fountain gate today.
