The RocketFire™ Torch

Kamado Joe grills are built for precision.
Airflow. Heat retention. Control.

Lighting them should follow the same rules. That’s why we built the RocketFire Torch.

RocketFire Torch™ is a propane-powered fire starter designed to deliver fast, clean, lighter-fluid-free ignition for charcoal grills and ceramic kamado cookers.

This red Kamado Joe charcoal starter is designed to work with airflow-driven ceramic grills, applying focused heat directly to lump charcoal, not the ceramic itself. Ignition begins exactly where you want it, without waiting on a chimney to catch or introducing lighter fluid that interferes with airflow and flavor.

The RocketFire Torch runs on standard propane or MAP-Pro fuel canisters and delivers instant ignition without electricity, chemicals, or complicated setup. The flame is controlled, deliberate, and easy to place. You decide where the fire begins and how it builds, from the very first spark.

That control matters. Whether you’re bringing the grill up to searing temperatures, easing into a low-and-slow cook, or setting up for smoking, RocketFire helps you establish a clean, steady fire without disrupting how your Kamado Joe is meant to operate.

That’s why many grillers consider RocketFire the best lighter for Kamado Joe–style grills.

RocketFire also works perfectly with Big Green Egg setups and traditional charcoal grills using lump charcoal.
