“That gasoline taste.”
Fluid soaks into the coals and into dinner. Embervolt uses heat, not chemicals. Nothing to taste.
Plug it in.
No fluid.
No newspaper.
No stink.
Ten minutes.
Coals ready.
Rapid electric charcoal igniter
Embervolt
The charcoal chimney with the heater built in. Plug it in, and dinner starts ten minutes sooner.
Why grillers switch
Lighter fluid stinks. Chimneys smoke out the patio. Wands burn out.
“Newspaper, wax cubes, a lighter, and ten minutes of fanning.”
Fill it, plug it in, walk away. The chimney does the fanning.
“The wand died in a year.”
Wand starters sit in the fire. Embervolt’s heater sits under the coals in a heavy galvanized can built to take it.
How it works
Fill. Plug. Grill.
-
01
Fill
Pour in charcoal, up to a full chimney.
-
02
Plug
Plug it in. The light comes on. Heat starts at the base and climbs.
-
03
Grill
About ten minutes later, pour glowing coals onto the grate. Unplug and done.

Made for white charcoal
Binchotan is hard to light. Not in here.
White charcoal is dense, clean, and burns for hours. It also laughs at matches and paper starters. Most people end up holding a torch on it.
Embervolt's heater sits right under the coals and keeps going until they catch. No torch, no gas burner, no fluid near the charcoal you paid good money for.
- 01No torch needed. Steady heat from below does the work.
- 02Nothing to taste. No fluid or wax, so the clean flavor binchotan is known for stays clean.
- 03Hands free. Plug it in and walk away while it catches.

Real questions
The things people ask before they buy.
How long does it take?
About ten minutes to glowing coals with a full chimney, a little less with a half load.
Does it work with white charcoal (binchotan)?
Yes. That is one of the best reasons to own it. White charcoal is too dense for matches or paper starters, and the built-in heater keeps steady heat under it until it catches. Give it more time than regular briquettes.
How long is the cord?
36 inches, and it plugs into any standard 110-volt household outlet. If your grill sits farther from the outlet, use an outdoor-rated extension cord.
Does it stay hot after?
Yes, like any chimney. Set it on the tripod on a heat-safe surface and let it cool before storing.
Does it work in wind?
Yes. The heat comes from inside the can, so wind does not blow it out.
Do I have to hold a button?
No. Plug it in and the light tells you it is on. Unplug when the coals are ready.
