A fire starter includes a casing made from a first material a first material having a first time associated therewith that defines a length of time that the casing burns after being ignited. A second material disposed in the casing has a second time associated therewith that defines a length of time that the second material burns after being ignited. An igniter, disposed in the casing and adjacent to the second material, generates a first thermal event to ignite the second material wherein the second material combusts to define a second thermal event that ignites the first material. An actuator is coupled to the igniter and is positioned outside of the casing for activating the igniter to generate the first thermal event.

Devices and methods are disclosed for creating a fire in normal and adverse conditions using fire starting tinder housed in lightweight containers and multipurpose cords.

A fire starter device and method for producing the same capable of igniting a fire sustaining fuel source in adverse conditions typically associated with wilderness survival or emergency situations. A wick element facilitates ignition of the fire starter and extends through a generally cubical outer shell into a solid fuel inner core. The wick element can include one or more wicks associated with a wax, each wick including multiple strands of one or more wicking materials. The outer shell provides a hard, non-greasy external surface for the fire starter and substantially encapsulates the solid fuel inner core. The solid fuel inner core includes a fibrous material associated with a wax and can provide fuel to the flame of the fire starter.

A flammable organic mixture for a multi-purpose all-natural fire starter is provided, having essentially a mass of combustible solid particles obtained from trees, shrubs, ground cover, grasses and plants, and combustible oils extracted from leaves, barks, fruits and seeds, oily residues and waxes. Upon ignition, the said solids, oils, oily residues, and waxes undergo combustion releasing an aromatic fragrance at the time of burning.

A combustible fire starting kit for conveniently stacking and burning fuel. The combustible fire starting kit includes a rectangular base frame having four side members and an aperture placed along an exterior wall. A bottom layer and a top layer are secured to the base frame, each layer having a plurality of parallel slats positioned at regular intervals. The side members, top layer and bottom layer form an interior volume where kindling material is placed. Vertical side support members are secured to the base frame in order allow for easy stacking of fuel. A wick is placed in the aperture, extending from the interior volume to beyond the exterior wall of the base frame. The base frame, top and bottom layers, and side support members are made from combustible material, allowing a user to burn the combustible fire starting kit along with the fuel.

A log stove and fire stand are disclosed wherein the fire stand has a grill with three adjustable legs positioned over the log stove to complement the structural integrity of the burning log stove. The log stove may include a variable cross-section static air flow design and a ventilator gate that provide a method to inject excessive air (oxygen) flow into the combustion chamber throughout the burn cycle for complete fuel consumption. An excessive air volume to fuel ratio insures complete combustion of the billet thus reducing pollution.

A device and method with easy starter charcoal which is a quick, convenient, reliable, odorless and non-toxic alternative to using bagged charcoal. This product is safe and will not diminish or alter the unique charcoal flavor of the foods being cooked over the charcoal. The process to start a fire from charcoal is eliminated. This product provides a one step process to start a charcoal fire. It offers a one-container method.
