Fire-starting method and apparatus

Abstract

An incendiary method and apparatus includes a method of making an incendiary apparatus for remotely igniting fires which includes forming the incendiary apparatus with a composition of potassium nitrate, sulfur, and a polymer and then extruding the incendiary composition into a continuous extrusion and cutting the extrusion into sections to form individual incendiary devices. The method includes extruding the incendiary composition with a wire or bore formed therethrough into a generally cylindrical shape. The method also includes selecting an incendiary apparatus having a predetermined shape for producing a predetermined flame pattern when ignited and having an ignition wire extending therethrough, heating the ignition wire, and dispensing the selected incendiary apparatus having the heated ignition wire from a remote location into an area for starting a fire. The incendiary apparatus for remotely igniting a fire includes a generally cylindrical fire starting apparatus having an igniter therein and having a composition which includes potassium nitrate, sulfur and a polymer.
