A combustible product made of cardboard and compositions efficiently and conveniently supplies heat, such as for outdoor cooking. The product includes combustible material contained in a substantially four sided pyramid exterior, a substantially four sided pyramid interior space, a large closed diameter at the base of the pyramid and a small closed diameter at the top of the pyramid creating a highly conducive form for the combustible material contained in the product package, to ignite quickly and sustain an efficient and long lasting burn. The product package will come in several sizes to meet the consumers needs. The sizes will consist of extra large, large, medium, small and extra small.

An outer wrapper has an outer layer and liner and arranged to form an interior volume. A quantity of fuel pellets is contained within the interior volume and faced by the liner. When ignited the outer wrapper burns away while igniting the quantity of fuel pellets.

A method and system reprocess soiled animal bedding material commingled with animal manure. In one aspect the soiled animal bedding material is separated in a shaker to send at least a preponderance of said manure to a holding tank. In another aspect the bedding is cleaned, rinsed and color is restored. Said bedding material is subsequently dried and a bedding product, fertilizer product, and/or compacted product is formed. Alternatively, said bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product. In another aspect, the steps of separation, cleaning, rinsing and/or color restoration may be omitted.

A fire starting device having a container with a base, wherein the base includes an open top, side walls, and a closed bottom. A lid is slidably connected to the open top of the base, and the container is closed by sliding the lid over the open top, and the container is opened by sliding the lid away from over the open top. Fire starting tinder is contained within the base that includes multiple planar layers of fabric impregnated with accelerant, and the lid is slid open to enable the fire starting tinder to burn within the base. The multiple planar layers of fabric of the fire starting tinder are achieved by folding over a single fabric multiple times.

A fire starter having improved ventilation and an associated method are provided. The fire starter may include a housing folded to form a pyramid, wherein the housing includes at least three sidewalls and a base. The sidewalls converge to a single point at the top of the housing and may contain one or more windows. These sidewalls may include a detachable portion in an upper region of each sidewall. Further, the housing may contain a plurality of ignitable chips, including elongated wooden sticks, charcoals, wood chips, or a combination thereof. In operation, the windows can be opened and the detachable portion of the housing removed to expose the ignitable chips seated within. To start a fire, a flame may be applied to the ignitable chips, which can completely ignite the fire starter and any wood laid thereon.
