Once it is at that point, dump a few ounces of LOX on it for an instantly ready BBQ. |

I have one and have used it on lump charcoal. It works.
Be careful with a cast iron grill (Lodge hibachi) If you leave it unattended you can melt your grate. BTDT with a hair dryer. Just think of your very own mini blast furnace. Ditto on a BGE. The thermal shock might give you a massive broken flower pot. |

You are missing a few things in that picture.
The reg is to adjust the pilot lite only. The bottle you see in the pic is just an expansion chamber. Connect normal BBQ tank and wait for the expansion tank to fill. Bonus points if you keep the bbq tank in a hot water bath to up the pressure. |

I usually have to spray it with weed killer but I should just get one of these fire breathing dragons and burn the shit out of them weeds.

Can I torch hornets nests with this contraption? |

I think most BBQ lighting contraptions exist because too many people have never read the instructions on the bottle of charcoal lighter fluid. The stuff works if you don't skip the critical step between squirting it and lighting it.
