A multi-layer fire starter apparatus includes multiple layers of different combustible materials that are configured for ease and speed of initial ignition that, together, produce an extended length of burn time. The ignition layer may be constructed of gel wax configured to ignite a core layer of cotton which is configured to ignite a base layer of gel wax.

An example composite waterproof fire starting puck includes a base of paraffin wax, a quantity of dried waterproof or hydrophobic moss embedded in, and surrounding, the paraffin wax, and a quantity of combustible material(s) embedded in, and projecting out of, the paraffin wax. An example composite waterproof fire starting puck may also include a wax cover. An example composite waterproof fire starting puck may also include flammable organic herbs or fragrant material(s) to provide a desirable smell during burning. When a spark or small flame is applied to the moss, the moss ignites, and after the moss ignites, the moss releases sufficient heat to ignite the quantity of combustible material(s) to melt and ignite the paraffin.

A flammable tube has a plurality of air passages formed along the length of the flammable tube. A support member is positioned in an interior of the flammable tube. The support member is spaced apart from the lower end of the flammable tube. Solid fuel is positioned on the support member. A flame is introduced to the solid fuel which is within the interior of the tube which ignites the solid fuel, such as charcoal. The charcoal burns away the flammable tube and the support member. The flammable tube may be placed within a grill of the type used to cook food or other container that is nonflammable, and which provides a receptacle for the burning solid fuel without the need of a specialized grilling apparatus.

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.
