A solid fuel burning fire pit is described. The fire pit includes a bowl with an aperture that receives a burner. A fuel source integrated with the fire pit and in fluidic communication with the burner is used to ignite solid fuel disposed in the bowl of the fire pit. Once the solid fuel is ignited, the fuel source may be turned off by a user, or automatically turn off based on temperature or time thresholds.

A fire poker includes a handle, an elongate tube and a tip end. A check valve assembly is positioned in the handle and fluidly coupled with an air conduit extending from the handle to the tip end.

A fire pit has a combustion chamber with a perforated floor, a chute below the perforated floor directing ash and debris from the floor to an area below the chute, and a removable ash pan occupying the area below the chute and having a handle affixed thereto.

A combustion chamber sized to receive a quantity of solid fuel is in fluid communication with a cooking region of a grilling appliance. A control system is operable in at least a smoke mode and a temperature mode. When operated in the smoke mode, the control system operates a fuel delivery system and draft inducer in accordance with predetermined fuel and combustion air delivery schedules. When operated in the temperature mode, the control system operates the fuel delivery system based on a feedback signal derived from the temperature of the cooking region. A user interface operatively associated with the control system allows a user to operate the grilling appliance in either of the smoke mode or the temperature mode.

A barbecue tool having a handle with an elongated member having a hook thereon extending from a first end of the handle. Extending from a second end of the handle is a U-shaped member. The hook on the elongated member is adapted for lifting barbecue grates and for holding the tool when not used. The U-shaped member is adapted for stacking charcoal briquette for firing and unshackling the briquettes once heated. The centrally positioned handle provides a grip for the user to use either end of the tool.

The present application provides methods for methods of igniting a fuel source with a lighter fluid composition including fusel oil; self-lighting charcoal briquettes infused with fusel oil, flammable compositions including fusel oil, methods of making flammable compositions including fusel oil, and lighter devices including fusel oil.

A modular firestarter assembly. The modular firestarter assembly includes a number of modular components configured to be able to join to one another to form the firestarter assembly. The modular components can be broken down to save space. The modular firestarter assembly can be formed from a number of different combinations of the modular components to hold fuel sources and assist in starting a fire.
