Well the 8 year old 2000W heat gun did the trick with some lump charcoal last night. Quite easy actually and has a switch so thumb cramp holding down the button.
I just need a cordless one now. Still interested in the butane set up.

Re: Looking to build a BBQ cart
A rolling table for work space on top and storage for all the stuff underneath is on the too do list for this year. At one stage I was going to put my wok burner on it as well, however I have the bottom half of a kettle under the house so was thinking I might cut a hole in the side to slide the gas ...

Re: Looftlighter recall?
Shame, mine died yesterday and had to run out to get fire starters. Anyone has other alternatives, I have flirted with the idea of a butane torch.
