you know how is it like to BBQ. the hardest part is not the flipping of meat patty, but getting the fire going. instead of fanning it like a mad man or using fuel, the BBQ Dragon is here to get the fire going. the idea is a simple one, but nevertheless effective and could save you some wrist-breaking chore which sometimes don’t even yield any result. the BBQ Dragon won’t breathe fire like the mythical creature, although we would very much like to see that, but it is essentially a battery-operated, portable fan designed to target large amount of low velocity air at the pit thereby giving enough oxygen to get the firing going at a faster-than-human-can-do rate.
the equation for a successful fire is air (which naturally contains oxygen needed to produce fire) and the magic that the BBQ Dragon brings about is control. with it, you will be able to control the heat of grill by a simple twist of a knob, rekindle smoldering fires and of course, kick start a fire on a charcoal grill in matter of minutes. it sure sounds like a dream come true for charcoal grill lovers without submitting to propane-fueled grill setup. no? we think it is. the BBQ Dragon was a successfully funded Kickstarter project which ended last June, but you can still get yours now for $49.99 plus shipping from BBQ Dragon’s website. see the BBQ Dragon face-off with a gas grill the video below.
