I've used this product for just about 10 time for 1 month. First off, this device is not amazing. It is not awesome nor superlative. It's just a fan attached to a flexible neck anchored to a clamp. But what it does is amazing and any superlative you can imagine. It so very drastically accelerates the burning of partially lit coals until they are raging hot. Additionally, the blowing air off the hot coals rapidly cause other coals to ignite and burn. This is such a HUGE time saver and, as childish as it may seem, its entertaining to watch the fire just glow and spread incredibly fast. Like watching a forest fire.
Now the con: This is important in reviewing any product. It uses batteries. That's fine as I have rechargeables in mine. But the designers thought it would be clever to include a charging port on the device. Sounds great at first but It uses a USB port. Really? I'm gonna hook this up to my laptop to charge? Or my PC to charge it? No wait, I have to buy an adaptor to plug in the USB cord so I can then plug it into a wall. (no USB cord included) so I can then charge it. STUPID! I just charge the rechargeable batteries in their own charger as I am sure ALL users would do.
Would I recommend this? Oh heck yes. I absolutely love this device. Very easy to use, the clamp is very powerful and holds the device secure and the flexible neck is rigid to stay where you aim the fan. This device is a must for any person who needs to accelerate partially lit coals in a big big hurry. Swell product and a big hats off to the developers. I'm impressed.

Philosophy of Use
Quick and dirty...First of all, I can see why there is some negative reviews about this product. It has a plastic fan, it's not built super well, and the battery life is annoying.What is good about the fan? Here is why it's good to me...It works well to get your coals up and going in no time... No, you don't need to buy the BBQ Dragon chimney for it to work to your advantage (see picture). If you don't have a WSM to do the same thing, get creative.It's portable to get your coals piping hot for a sear (see my picture).The Suck.Battery life with conventional Double A batteries - the rechargeable battery unit might be worth looking into? No idea...Heat resistance - Anything closer then ~10 inches might be asking for issues but honestly, I am not sure. I've never used this unit right on top of my fire.Yeah, it's lacking in these areas but you know what? I don't plan to use it to an extreme level or place it right next to 500+ degree charcoal . Can you accomplish everything as mentioned above with with a blow dryer? You bet. However, a blow dryer is quite as portable as this unit is.The portability is what I like folks, it's nothing game changing but it's a nice luxury for charcoal. For me it's a decent buy, folks. My expectations were met, and the price wasn't awful. Four stars.Hope this helps!
