Abstract
A fire-starter, according to one approach, includes: an outer shell having an upper end, as well as sidewalls coupled to the upper end. Together, the sidewalls and upper end form an interior portion of the outer shell. The fire-starter also includes a first opening in the outer shell, the first opening being configured to receive a spark rod and provide access to the interior portion of the outer shell. Furthermore, a blade is positioned in the interior portion of the outer shell and adjacent to the first opening. Accordingly, the blade is configured to come into contact with a spark rod that is inserted in the first opening. The blade is also configured to generate sparks in the interior portion of the outer shell in response to the spark rod being removed from the first opening while in contact with the blade.
