SHREDABLE AND SPLITABLE WAX ACCELERANT IMPREGNATED FIRE TINDER

Abstract

A fire starting implement in where the fuel source is an unadulterated piece Red Western Cedar Bark is impregnated with a secondary fuel source that acts as an accelerant. The combination of Red Western Cedar with Paraffin wax or other wax based accelerant creates a fire starter that is easily manipulated by hand or by tool. The final product can be split into smaller pieces or be pulled apart and shredded into finer strands. The fire starting implement created from this combination creates a highly weather resistant and versatile fire starter.

Claims

1. To impregnate the bark of the Red Western Cedar with a heated accelerant wax such as paraffin or beeswax which in turn after cooling the product, creates a weather resistant and easily manipulated fire starter that has the ability to split, shred, and be fluffed while maintaining it's high flammability and long burning nature.

2. I claim the process of super heating paraffin wax to a high temperature in excess of it's normal low working temperature to acquire a viscosity that easily impregnates the cedar bark.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The illustrations will also show how the wood can split easily into smaller pieces or be torn and shredded into an easily ignitable tinder. The invention will be called by it's current sale name, Fierce Fire, when describing it.

[0018] FIG. 1 shows the Fierce Fire as a whole from an angle showing the distinctive structure of the thread like bark of the cedar, in this instance, the Red Western Cedar.

[0019] FIG. 2 shows the Fierce Fire's ability to easily split into smaller pieces using a tool, such as a knife.

[0020] FIG. 3 shows The Fierce Fire's ability to be shredded easily, and how it peels from the product and shows The Fierce Fire cut into cubes, as it is dense enough to maintain it's structure while sawed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0021] Now, to fully represent unique aspects of the process and the nature of versatility of the wood, we turn to the drawings for a better understanding.

[0022] FIG. 1 shows the invention of SHRED-ABLE AND SPLIT-ABLE WAX ACCELERANT IMPREGNATED RED WESTERN CEDAR BARK FIRE TINDER which we will from here on refer to as Fierce Fire in it's most common shape and size, and shows the straight fibers 10, as well as how the fibers like to naturally pull in strands 12 from the split piece. Not every piece is exactly uniform to one another, and has slight variances 14. FIG. 2 shows how it may be split with a knife 20 or other hand tool of your choosing, to be broken down into pieces of different sizes 22. FIG. 3 is representative of how Fierce Fire may be broken down into different forms. When the fibers are pulled from Fierce Fire it can be broken down into individual stands that create a fluffy and easily ignitable version of the material 30. It can also be broken down by other means with tools such as hand saws to create small cubes 32, which allows for increased burn time to be used in camp stoves.

[0023] From the understanding gained reading the description along side of the drawings, it can be seen that Fierce Fire, makes for a more versatile fire starter than what is currently being offered today, and enriches the fire starting community with another valuable resource, and in many ways, a superior fire starter, but most importantly versatile. It is to be noted that in it's current embodiment, it is very mobile and will be used in many handheld applications of fire starting. Although it's dimensions may vary to suit the end-users application of choice. The Red Western Cedar combined with a wax based accelerant form a combination of properties, that when combined are those of the current invention.
