The cordless evolution of the Looftlighter: the same hot air that lights charcoal with no chemicals, now battery-powered to light where there's no socket. Total freedom by the kamado, no cable or extension leads in the way.
The Air solves the classic Looftlighter's only real gripe: socket dependence. With a built-in battery you take it to the garden, the terrace or on a trip without thinking about extension leads. In return, it's the priciest version in the range and you have to watch the charge. For those who value clean, chemical-free lighting but cook away from a power point, it's the answer.
The cordless Looftlighter: same clean hot-air lighting, now on battery. Total freedom, but it's the priciest and you must charge it.
Pros
- Cordless: lights where there's no socket
- Hot air, no chemicals — clean lighting for ceramic
- No acrid smoke or open flame
- Full mobility: garden, terrace, camping, events
- Same fast-lighting philosophy as the Looftlighter
Cons
- The priciest in the Looftlighter range
- Battery dependent: must watch the charge before cooking
Who it's for
For those who want the Looftlighter's clean light but cook away from a socket: garden, large terrace, camping or events.
Not for
If you always cook next to a socket, the corded model does the same for considerably less and with no battery to manage.

FAQ
What is the advantage of the Looftlighter Air over the corded one?
The Air is cordless and battery-powered, so you light charcoal anywhere without hunting for an outlet or dragging extension leads: camping, beach, a terrace with no nearby socket. It uses the same flameless hot-air principle as the corded model, just as clean and fluid-free. The trade-off is depending on a charged battery.
How many lights does the battery last?
It depends on charge level and how long you keep hot air on the charcoal, but it manages several lights per charge since each start is just 1-2 minutes. Charge it before a long day or an event with several cooks. If you grill almost daily at home, the corded model never leaves you stranded by a flat battery.
Does it also light pizza ovens and fireplaces?
Yes, like the corded model: hot air ignites charcoal, briquettes, pellets and kindling, so it starts a pizza oven or a living-room fireplace. Aim at the base of the fuel and let the heat work without moving it too much. Handle the glowing tip carefully and let it cool away from flammables.
