Abstract
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.
Claims20
A composite waterproof fire starting puck, comprising:
- 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 embedded in, and projecting out of, the paraffin wax and configured as wicks for the paraffin wax to regulate the rate of combustion of both the combustible material and the paraffin wax;
- wherein when a spark or 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 to melt and ignite the paraffin.
A method of manufacture of a composite waterproof fire starting puck, comprising:
- providing a base of paraffin wax;
- providing a quantity of dried waterproof or hydrophobic moss embedded in, projecting from, and surrounding the paraffin wax;
- and
- providing a quantity of combustible material in the moss;
- covering the quantity of combustible material with more paraffin wax;
- wherein when a spark or 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, and melts and ignites the paraffin wax;
- wherein the combustible material provide wicks for the paraffin wax to regulate a rate of combustion of both the quantity of combustible material and the paraffin wax.
