ABSTRACT:
A charcoal lighter apparatus includes a housing and a barrier assembly supported within the housing. The barrier assembly divides an internal space defined by the housing into a lower gas-bottle-storage region and an upper charcoal-briquet-storage region. The barrier assembly also divides the housing into a lower housing portion and an upper housing portion, and the barrier assembly includes a heat transfer channel which permits transfer of heat from the gas-bottle-storage region to the charcoal-briquet-storage region. A gas bottle assembly is supported by the lower housing portion and includes a bottle portion supported by the lower housing portion within the gas-bottle-storage region. The gas bottle assembly includes a manually operated gas controller connected to the bottle portion. The manually operated gas controller extends from outside the housing to the bottle portion within the gas-bottle-storage region. A handle assembly is connected to the housing and is installed on the lower housing portion of the housing. A gas ignitor assembly ignites gas from the bottle portion of the gas bottle assembly for providing a flame for providing heat to pass through the heat transfer channel to the charcoal-briquet-storage region. The handle assembly includes a pair of handle units connected to diametrically opposing positions on the housing. The lower housing portion includes a plurality of air holes arranged in the lower housing portion below the barrier assembly and above the gas bottle assembly.
