Looks complicated, expensive and unnecessary to me. But I'm a KISS (keep it simple stupid) kinda guy. I like revolvers, pump shotguns, and manual windows. If you're a gadget guy, go for it.

I just light my Royal Oak lump with a weed burner, open the vents and in short order I'm ready to go. Bada bing!

Wait... It just blows air up through the lump? How about a battery powered fan from the dollar store?

I use a MAPP gas torch or a paper towel soaked in some canola oil.

I use a $1 fan that runs off of 2 AAs. I picked a couple up at WalMart. Only takes about 30 seconds for temps to really start climbing.
