Description
IV. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF DRAWINGS
[0011] The drawings depict example designs and features of the product.
[0012] FIGS. 1a and 1b: A rectangular box with an opening in the front central inferior part of the box. The box will contain charcoal strategically placed to facilitate ignition. The box will include 2 high temperature fuses made of turpentine or a material similar to the high temperature characteristics of turpentine. One of the fusses will be attached to the interior of the box, which will ensure a direct flame to the charcoal. The second will be placed somewhere within the box for easy access.

V. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0017] FIG. 1a: The exterior of a Rectangular box 1 with opening 10 in the front inferior part. This opening is in the form of a smaller interior box 11. The Box 1 has an orifice 15 placed on one side of the box. This orifice will have perforated lines so when the user can leave an opening for the flow of air. The box includes 2 high temperature fuses 20. The Box 1 comes with charcoal packed in a way that will allow the creation of heat to start the burning process.
[0018] FIG. 1b: shows a partial three dimensional interior view of the rectangular box 1 showing the small interior box 11 with interior small box orifices 13. Interior small box orifices 13 have perforated lines so that a high temperature fuse can be inserted through them. It also shows orifice 15 that will be perforated in order to allow air 40 to go through it.
[0019] FIG. 2 shows rectangular box 1 with a cap 5 with perforated lines 35. Opening 10 is placed opposite to cap 5. Cap 5 should be made of a material that will have enough rigidity in order to be used later as a fan. Perforated Lines 35 are placed in a way that will allow for cap 5 to be removed easily with out the need of any tools.
[0020] FIG. 3 shows the rectangular box 1 with out the cap 5 with a high temperature fuse 20 installed in one or the two small box orifices 13 (not shown). The charcoal 30 is properly exposed to the outdoor elements. A lighting mechanism 45, such as a match or lighter will the be used to light a fire on the high temperature fuse.
[0021] FIG. 4 shows the use of cap 5 generating air through one side of the box 1. Preferably creating air on the side that orifice 15 is located.
[0022] FIG. 5 shows the disassembled box 1 with orifice 10 and the most effective dimensions. These dimensions are found to be the dimensions that the market demands but in no way it limits the size of box 1.
VI. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT AND METHOD
[0023] The Easy Starter Charcoal box is intended as an easier, cleaner, simpler, more environmentally friendly, and sensory pleasing method of charcoal packaging and ignition than bagged charcoal/lighter fluid or chemical alternatives.
[0024] Once in possession of an Easy Starter Charcoal box remove the top along the perforated lines as shown in FIG. 2. Affix the high temperature fuse included in the box where indicated leaving only of the fuse visible. (The high temperature fuse will have a measurement between 4 to 14 cm long.) The fuse will be lighted with and external flame (matches, lighter, etc. which are not included in the box). After 5 minutes of lighting the box and approximately every 5 minutes, fan vigorously for 30 seconds or until a flame is achieved using the previously removed lids from the box. Fan directly towards the fuse in order to make the oxygen circulate and encourage and optimal combustion as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In approximately, 20 to 25 minutes distribute the lighted charcoal.
VII. BENEFITS
[0025] Ease of transport and handling of charcoal; [0026] A clean and orderly task for effective ignition of product avoiding hands on contact and cooking area; [0027] A fast, easy and effective ignition of product without the use of lighter fluids, which alter the aromas, and flavors of the foods.
