Abstract

See full text

A fire kindling device and method having a wick and a coated fuel material strip. A user loosely rolls the coated fuel material strip into a spiraled cylindrical coil defining and creating a gap between radially spaced sections. The user places the spiraled cylindrical coil in an upright position, presses the wick into a centrally located apex point over the radius of the spiraled cylindrical coil and down the exterior side wall and then stacks combustible kindling material around the spiraled cylindrical coil. The wick is ignited, igniting the fire fuel causing the fire fuel to ignite the coated fuel material strip within the spiraled cylindrical coil, thereby causing a kindling fire. The sections are ignited nearly simultaneously, igniting the combustible kindling material. The fire fuel transforms into a combustible gas within the gap, augmenting combustion of the fire fuel, and increasing the temperature of the kindling fire.
