A self-contained fire package comprising

• a burnable fuel enclosure having a top, a bottom, and four sides, including front, back and lateral sides, forming a continuous web joining said top and bottom,
• a first plurality of fuel elements stacked within said enclosure in the form of a generally U-shaped configuration, said configuration including branches extending along said back and lateral sides defining a pocket facing said front side, with the stacked elements extending vertically substantially fully between said top and bottom,
• a second plurality of fuel elements, smaller than those in said first plurality of fuel elements, distributed at random within said pocket,
• first opening-enabling means formed in said top of said enclosure enabling the selective creation therein of an opening over and exposing at least a portion of the top of said pocket, and
• second opening-enabling means formed in front side of said enclosure enabling the selective creation therein of an opening in front of and at least partially exposing the front of said pocket.
