Embodiments of the inventive concept provide a double-sealed high-temperature resistant DC ignitor for use with a wood pellet burner assembly. The DC ignitor includes a non-heating element portion. The non-heating element portion is connected to at least one of a battery or an AC to DC electrical transformer attached to the wood pellet burner assembly. A heating element is connected to the non-heating element portion, and extends by at least one inch into a combustion region of the wood pellet burner assembly. The heating element portion is configured to be heated by power received from the battery or the AC to DC electrical transformer. The DC ignitor provides safe, reliable, and fast combustion of wood pellets that congregate in a combustion region of the wood pellet burner assembly.

A fire starting bulb apparatus includes a heating element, at least one contact point a bulb. The at least one contact point is operably connected to the heating element. The at least one contact point configured to connect to an energy source for providing energy to the heating element. The bulb having an outer surface and an inner surface. The bulb is configured to receive the heating element so that the heating element provides heat to the inner surface and the outer surface of the bulb when the heating element receives energy from the energy source.

The present invention relates to an ignition device using pellet fuel capable of quickly igniting and burning the pellet fuel, which is supplied into an inner container, and including a container part having the inner container in which the pellet fuel is accommodated while being dropped therein and an outer container of which an upper part is integrally provided with an outer side of the inner container, a heater bar provided at a lower part of the container part and configured to ignite the pellet fuel while being heated by electrical energy, and a cover provided at an inner bottom of the inner container and configured to cover the heater bar.

Disclosed is a resistive charcoal igniter device for containing and igniting charcoal briquettes, particularly in preparation for use in a barbeque. The device has a cylindrical container with a wire base or tray in the bottom for containing the briquettes. An electrically operated resistive heating element is located within the wire base. When briquettes are placed in the container and the heating element is energized, the charcoal briquettes can be ignited after a sufficient time. The device also includes a handle affixed to the container and a heat shield placed between the handle and the container to protect a user's hand from heat generated within the container while holding the handle. The resistive heater is powered externally and may be electrically connected to a power source by an extension cord integrated into the device.

A smoking pen device is disclosed. An example smoking pen device includes a stem having an inlet end and an outlet end. The example smoking pen device also includes a first end piece connecting to the inlet end of the stem, the first end piece configured to receive a coil heated by electric current to combust a smoking product in the first end piece. The example smoking pen device also includes a second end piece on the outlet end of the stem. A gas or vapor from combustion of the smoking product flows from the first end piece through the stem and out of the second end piece. In an example, the second end piece is a mouth piece. In another example, the second end piece is configured to fit into an inlet port on a water pipe.

Pellet grills including a control system that implements, manages, and/or controls various ignition-based protocols and/or processes are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a cooking chamber, a burn pot, an ignitor, and a controller. The ignitor extends into the burn pot and is configured to ignite pellet fuel located within the burn pot. The controller is configured to command the ignitor to activate during a first duration. The controller is further configured to determine, following expiration of the first duration, whether a temperature of the cooking chamber has reached a threshold temperature. The controller is further configured, in response to determining that the temperature has not reached the threshold temperature, to command the ignitor to activate during a second duration.
