Conodo12 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not a review but rather a question to find out if anyone has used the BBQ Guru Golf Club to light their fires? Here is a link: http://www.thebbqguru.com/bbqGuruGolfClub.cfm I appreciate your feedback/review! Thanks! Jasen - If this is not the right place to post this RFI, please feel free to move.

Hawaiian Pirate Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Never used one but it looks like a handy tool and more versatile than a weed burner. Although i personally wouldn't use it for a grill lifter like the say you can. I don't think i would hang it on the side of the grill as they have done in the picture.

cruzmisl Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I was debating purchasing it too. I thought about it and decided against it. First, the equipment you need to use it you can already light your Q with and second it was $30 and I'm cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetzervalve Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Conodo12, I have the golf club and I like it. I have not yet used it to light up for a low and slow, I think the MAPP gas torch alone will be best for that. For high(er) temp grilling I like being able to jam it into the lump pile and let it rip away. I have the KK gas burner but don't really care for it, the club is easier. As far as the other listed "uses" for the Golf Club..... well it works great for lighting lump. 4 stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeDJ16 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Funny you mention this as I was going to run by a Harbor Freight today to look for a small weed burner (the ones that use the 14.1 oz bottles). When my back is acting up, I don't feel like getting down behind to the grill to light the burner. Used my regular torch here a good bit lately so I decided the long neck of the weed burner would make it even easier to use and it conveniently hang over the grill lip. Hoping I find one with the piezoelectric starter on it too. http://www.amazon.com/Rafael-31-Propane ... 26&sr=1-21 Don't like the rubber hose on the Guru Club. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetzervalve Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 http://www.amazon.com/Rafael-31-Propane ... 26&sr=1-21 Don't like the rubber hose on the Guru Club. -=Jasen=- With the G-Club, you hang the bottle on the edge of the grill, so the rubber hose allows you to position the flame where you need it. It also comes slides apart for easy storage in a small space. The item you reference looks like it might work ok if the tube was about half as long.... and then there is the storage Maybe you should call Fred and ask for one to "evaluate".

tkline01 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I use the club everytime I cook...only way I start my KK. Works great and is easy to store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeats Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I'm sure this has topic has been visited before, has anyone used the KK burner to cook with alone? I seem to remember this was accepted on the concrete cooker, with such a large burner it looks like you could (if you had to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not. In fact if anyone wants a slightly used burner with a front and back door, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dennis did. He posted pics. It was very shocking! I think he had a new cooker and no lump, or something, or was in a hurry and didn't want to wait for lump. But he did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeats Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sanny, I saw that posting, very dramatic! Don't think I'll be roasting marshallows like the "Roaming Gnome" ! Home Home on the Range..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I think Tcoliver cooks with the gas burner sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoliver Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes, I use it to cook when I'm in a hurry, hot dogs and stuff like that. I also use it when I cook pizza as I don't like the charcoal taste that is found when cooking pizza with charcoal. I use an adjustable regulator so I can get temps up to about 500 deg.

ThreeDJ16 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 The item you reference looks like it might work ok if the tube was about half as long.... and then there is the storage I was thinking it might have to be cut down, but that is not an issue for me. Though the one I had heard about at Harbor Freight was much shorter. Only trouble is I cannot find it on the web site, so they might have quit carrying it. About to go check it out and see. I don't see storage being an issue as it can just hang on a nail in my shop. If I wanted something like the Guru club, I would probably just make one. Looks like about 10 minutes and a piece of 3/8" ss tubing. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
