Grill Lighters

Grill lighters are long-handled, refillable or disposable lighters made for lighting charcoal, gas burners, fire pits and candles, places where an ordinary pocket lighter puts your fingers too close to the flame. This Esplanda version follows that format. Expect an extended barrel or neck that keeps your hand well back from the ignition point, and a trigger-style or push-button ignition operated with one hand. The listing gives no fuel type, capacity, flame style or refill details, so check the packaging for those. The extended reach is the main reason to choose this type. On a charcoal grill, you can light a chimney starter or a pile of briquettes from the side without leaning over the grate. On a gas grill, you can reach a burner port through the cooking grates, which is awkward with a short lighter. The same reach helps with deep jar candles, wood stoves, fireplaces and camping stoves, where a short flame would mean reaching into a hot or enclosed space. Handle it with the usual care. Keep it away from heat sources and out of a hot car, and don't leave it near the grill after use, because the body can warm up. Look for a child-resistant mechanism if one is fitted. Store it upright and dry with the other grilling tools, not loose in a pocket where the trigger can be pressed by accident.
