Claims20
A wax burning system comprising:
- a melted wax reservoir;
- a melting grate configured to receive a solid wax, the melting grate located above at least a portion of the melted wax reservoir so that wax melted on the melting grate can be received into the melted wax reservoir;
- a wick comprising a hollow core, and an upper exit opening in communication with the hollow core;
- an electronic ignition system comprising a filament and a filament support, the filament is attached to the filament support, the filament support positions the filament adjacent the wick, the filament is configured to receive power from a power source and to generate heat.
1 more element
A method of operating a wax burning system, comprising the steps of:
- positioning a priming section of a solid fuel adjacent the a hollow core wick where the solid fuel is supported on a melting grate;
- heating at least a portion of the priming section with a filament adjacent the wick so that a portion of the priming section melts and falls onto the wick, the filament is within the hollow core of the wick;
- igniting, with heat from the filament, the wick when the wick comprises a sufficient amount of fuel to support a flame.
