The present invention relates generally to the field of campfires and fireplaces. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fire sign device primarily comprised of at least one stand and at least one sign. The stand can be placed within a campfire or a fireplace via an attachment mechanism that includes, but is not limited to: a clamp, a stake, a stand, etc., which may further be repositionable on the stand and adjustable. The sign further attaches to the stand and may be comprised of at least one indicia that is made from a heat-resistant thermochromic paint that becomes visible when heated. In a differing embodiment, the sign is shaped like the indicia itself. One embodiment of the device includes at least one LED within the indicia that illuminates when a temperature sensor of the device detects a temperature above a threshold value.

A fire starter kit that includes a frame, a scratcher, a sparking road, and at least one fuel reservoir. The frame is having a first end, a second end, a middle region, a recess provided on the middle region, and a first slot provided along the first end, the second end and partially through the middle region. The scratcher removably mounted in the recess, wherein the scratcher is having at least one blade provided with a plurality of tooths. The sparking rod is removably mounted within the first slot, wherein the sparking rod is configured to produce sparks when scratched with the scratcher.

An inventive incendiary device is provided. The incendiary device comprises a plurality of corrugated components which are substantially saturated with a waxy component. In one preferred embodiment, the plurality of corrugated components are arranged in a stacked configuration to form a firestarter log. The firestarter log can additionally include a support component longitudinally disposed therethrough. The firestarter log can further comprise an ignition component at least partially disposed thereupon. In some aspects, the firestarter log further comprises a groove, which can provide an air passageway, and in which the ignition component can be at least partially disposed.

The present technology provides compositions that include at least about 98 weight percent (“wt %”) n-paraffins which, among other surprising features, may be suitable for use as a diesel fuel, an aviation fuel, a jet fuel blendstock, a blendstock to reduce the cloud point of a diesel fuel, a fuel for portable heaters, and/or as a charcoal lighter fluid. The composition includes at least about 98 wt % C.sub.7-C.sub.12 n-paraffins, where at least about 10 wt % of composition includes n-decane, at least about 20 wt % of the composition includes n-dodecane, and at least about 75 wt % of the composition includes even carbon number paraffins. The composition also includes less about 0.1 wt % oxygenates and less than about 0.1 wt % aromatics. The composition may be produced by a process that includes hydrotreating a biorenewable feedstock comprising at least one of palm kernel oil, coconut oil, babassu oil, microbial oil, or algal oil.

Low carbon atomic number mixed alcohol gel paste or pancake and straw charcoal grate combination of ignition agent, with fossil fuels such as bituminous coal lignite, straw branches and other agricultural and forestry waste, polyolefin and other synthetic organic polymer waste, other combustible solid and semi-solid low-value raw fuels, with non-toxic auxiliary materials carefully crafted high volatile column ignition coal and lower coal, are stacked in the insulation—fire-resistant furnace core. Throw in a small strip of burning paper to ignite the igniter from the top, that is, start long flame combustion, followed by the ignition coal on fire, its surface red hot coal layer will be designed to move down more quickly and gradually, to the lower coal on fire.
