Father’s Day is around the corner, and if you still need to shop today I have a great gift idea for you. I am also sharing one of our favorite recipes for the best Chicken Fajitas so you can grill up a fabulous Father’s Day meal.
We’ve told you about the HomeRight Electro Light Fire Starter before, and today I want to introduce you to the new ElectroTorch. This simple device lights a firepit, wood burning fire, or charcoal grill in seconds safely and without any chemical lighter fluid.
The Electro Torch is so easy to use, it heats up to 1500 degrees and ignites charcoal or wood within seconds. It has a second setting that you can use to rekindle dying coals or to fan the flames of a fire to keep it going. It also has a setting that shuts itself off as a precaution if it reaches too high of temperature so you can rest assured it is safe to use.
This is such a great gift idea for Father’s Day. If the Dad in your life uses a charcoal grill, has a firepit or even goes camping (with access to power) or has, like my Dad, a wood burning fireplace this is a great gift.
While I love that it makes lighting a fire so easy (and much safer), my favorite part is that it eliminates the need for lighter fluid. Pouring chemicals over charcoal then cooking food has never really appealed to me, doesn’t this seem like a much better way to do it? You can grab an Electro Torch right here for just $50, it will pay for itself in one summer of not buying lighter fluid, right?
Now that the grill is all ready 🙂 Here is a recipe you can cook on it; this is one of our favorite weekend dinners. There is something about the chicken cooked on the grill and the spice combination that makes these fajitas so delicious. We originally shared this recipe way back when HERE, but I have updated it for you today. The best part is that you can mix up the dry seasonings ahead (and not have to use the store packets), store them in a jar and be set for the whole summer.
In honor of Father’s Day, we’ll fire up the grill and make a big batch of fajitas served alongside some ice cold Margaritas (best recipe ever is here). I’m lucky enough to get to spend the holiday with my Dad as well as my husband, the two best fathers I know. I couldn’t ask for anything more!
