Lidl's GRILLMEISTER Jet Flame Lighter arrives in all stores on Sunday, 11 October
Brighten up your home and add a touch of warmth with a brand new product coming to all Lidl stores this week. The supermarket, which boasts around 1,000 branches across the UK, is gearing up to launch a range of new items on Sunday, October 11 - and one product in particular looks set to steal the show.
The GRILLMEISTER Jet Flame Lighter, priced at just £2.99, is described as "ideal" for anyone who owns a barbecue, fireplace or enjoys a campfire. It also comes with an 18ml refill gas canister, meaning buyers will have plenty of fuel to keep things going.
Finished in sleek all-black, it should slot effortlessly into your toolbox or garden shed without looking out of place. Two bold red controls add a pop of colour - one button powers the gadget up, while the other toggle allows you to adjust the flame intensity.
Please note the product carries an 18+ age warning, so it may not be suitable for everyone. For further details, visit the Lidl website.
Those hoping to get the lighter delivered straight to their doorstep will be left disappointed, as it is only available to purchase in store. To save yourself a wasted journey, you can check stock availability at your nearest Lidl branch on release day and afterwards using the online store finder: simply enter your postcode and you'll be able to see exactly where it's in stock.
It might be viewed as a budget-friendly alternative to the Mini Gas Blow Torch available at B&Q. Retailing at a steeper £17.50 - almost six times the cost of Lidl's offering - it appears virtually identical apart from its rounded and more robust base.
"Achieve perfect caramelisation and precision cooking with this compact mini blow torch," states the product description on the B&Q website. "Refillable, windproof, and easy to handle, it's ideal for crème brulee, lemon meringue, roasted peppers, and other culinary creations. Adjustable flame and safety lock make it convenient and secure for everyday use."
Product features
- Compact 12cm handheld torch, perfect for precise kitchen work
- Refillable for long-term use and convenience
- Adjustable flame for perfect caramelizing, roasting, and finishing
- Windproof design ensures consistent flame in all conditions
- Safety lock and removable base prevent unintended activation
A significant distinction between the two products has nothing to do with cost. B&Q provides free home delivery on standard orders exceeding £100 - otherwise £6 - and free delivery on large or bulk orders above £500 - otherwise £15.
Deliveries must be signed for by an adult and are left strictly at the external ground floor of the address, with certain remote locations and offshore islands subject to exclusions. Head to the B&Q website for further details.
