GRILLBLAZER Su-VGun Basic Grill & Culinary Torch - Charcoal Starter - Professional Cooking, Grilling and BBQ Tool - Handheld Blowtorch For Chefs, Men and Women Who Want the Best Tool for the Job

I bought a KJ Classic here through Amazon - after my first couple cooks I decided that trying to start a fire with the little starter cubes they have kind of sucked! One moderately windy day I wasn't able to get it started at all! Frustrating when you've got meat that's been dry brined and is ready to roll. So I wanted something that was fool proof. Enter the Grill Blazer Su-V Gun!Now a gun that shoots fire at 240,000 BTUs is a little intimidating. I have kids and don't want to set myself (or my house) on fire, so I made sure to watch all the boring safety videos to ensure that I was minimizing my risk of all that. If you're going to get this I'd say watch the videos. I am glad I did, if anything just to get the full picture on how to use this thing.I bought two 1lb propane tanks at Ace and attached one to the gun and gave it a go lighting some lump charcoal. This thing is POWERFUL. I had the propane on the minimum flow setting, it fired right up. Did a test blast and it was pretty intense! But also empowering in a weird way. Anyways, I used it to light my charcoal and in 30 seconds I had smoldering charcoal. This would've probably taken like 5-10 minutes with the old fire starter cubes that are currently sitting in a cabinet somewhere. And it takes the variables out when you can just blast fire directly onto the charcoal to ensure they are lit properly.This thing is expensive. I did wonder if there's a cheaper option out there but it seems to be built well. I've used it a handful of times so I can't speak to the longevity of this. I'll be very disappointed if this doesn't last me for years to come. I assume part of that is how it's maintained - I'm pretty careful about using it and storing it safely, so I hope that'll contribute to its long-term durability.In short, if you decide that the cost is worth saving the time it takes to light your charcoal every time you want to grill or smoke anything, this thing is a winner. I've been happy so far as it helps me take that variable out of the whole equation. It's fun to use, a bit scary, but responsible use of this thing is paramount! If you get it (which I would recommend), watch some safety videos, be careful, and enjoy!

The longer I have this the more ways I find to use it. I have bought many for friends as gifts. Sear steaks, light charcoal barbecue, kill weeds, light fire pits and trash burns.

I did hesitate before purchasing, due to being a little pricy, but since I've watched multiple videos using it with great comments, I've decided to give it a try. And I have to admit that I don't regret a single minute. This tool is a game changer when you want to start your Kamado Joe or whatever ceramic charcoal you may have. This greatly accelerates the process and the experience ! That tool does not just reduce drastically the time your charcoal gets ready, this is also a real piece of fun ! :D I recommend it and thanks to Smoking Dad BBQ for your recommendations on your You Tube channel !

I got this to add a sear to meats after sous vide. It takes a little getting used to, but it works well. Might sound dumb, but the flame is extremely hot so you need to make sure not to hold it too close to the food. It's a little pricey for what it is, but it's definitely the most BA/ fun way to add a sear.Based on the picture, I tried connected the gas tank directly to the product, but it would intermittently stop. I ended up buying a 3 foot hose to use in between as a connector and it works much better so I would recommend doing that as well.

When I first started looking at these, I was tempted to go with the cheapest one I could find. However, none of the other ones that I saw have the safety features that this one has. My next difficult decision was deciding between the Su-V gun or the grill gun. Since I mostly cook on a weber kettle, I found that the sous vide gun was better for my needs and lights the charcoal in under a minute and saves me a ton of time. The kid in me absolutely loves the flamethrower feature. The barbecue guy in me loves the amount of time I save in having to light charcoal or wood. All in all this is a great product and I am very pleased with my purchase.

I enjoy watching La Capital and Guga on you tube, I see they use this Su-VGun all the time. I wanted one but the price of this one was high for me, so I went to a different and cheaper option. Well, that gun didn't work, it literally took over 15min to turn on. I sent it back and bit the bullet for this one. Let me just say, It is worth it. This thing turns on instantly, the fire is great and powerful and so far, I love it. Like Guga says, "I highly recommend".
