Looft was founded in 2004 with a single mission: build fire that could be relied on. One that was safe, effective and clean – one that would make lighter fluid a distant smelly memory. Today, Looft still provides the perfect tools to do what was, and is still so essential for humans: gathering around the fire to relax and cook food. Some people love to line dance or play games to baseball on the weekend. Not Richard Looft, inventor of The Looft Lighter. Originally from the Swedish archipelago, Richard loves the outdoors, especially enjoying showing off his grilling skills to family and friends. So when a barbecue disaster struck on Richard's 9th birthday his daughter in 1997, Richard took it hard. It was a beautiful sunny day and Richard had invited family and friends to celebrate. He had dutifully grilled a chicken, but when it came time to eat the juicy poultry, he tasted like he was using a lighter fluid for the marinade. Totally shocked, he did what anyone would do, threw the chicken in the trash and ordered pizza. As soon as the party was over, he started searching the Internet for a product that got rid of the need of lighter fluids. And he found nothing at all. Knowing that fuel lighting required two key elements - heat and oxygen - Richard became experimental. Without thought for his safety, he poured charcoal into his toaster and turned the airflow on with his old vacuum cleaner—and voila, sparks were flying in seconds. He had discovered the fastest and cleanest way to light coal!A few years, and a lot of hard work later, Richard stood looking out over Stockholm harbor with a container full of 5000 pieces of his invention, ready to share them with the world. Now the lighter is sold in over 30 countries and, due to the superheated airflow, it is the most efficient, fastest, safest and cleanest for lighting coal and wood. 15 years later, it has better reviews, press coverage and an ever-expanding base of loyal loofters. Because fire produces the best food seasoning. Fluid no longer light.
