Air fire lighter

An air fire lighter for starting a solid fuel fire, comprising:

• a housing have a barrel with a distal end and a proximal end, the barrel having an internal chamber, the housing having a plurality of air ducts in fluid communication with ambient air, admitting air into the chamber from ambient air surrounding the lighter, the housing having a pistol grip coupled to the barrel at the proximal end, wherein the pistol grip is hingedly attached to the proximal end of the barrel, the pistol grip including a reservoir and a trigger, the pistol grip swiveling around the hinge to a plurality of position operative for accurately pointing the distal end of the barrel at the solid fuel;
• a fuel module, the fuel module having a liquid fuel in the reservoir, the fuel module having a burner collar, the collar at the distal end of the barrel, the fuel module having a conduit operative for transporting the fuel from the reservoir to the collar;
• an igniter module, the igniter module having an igniter at the distal end of the barrel adjacent to the burner collar, the igniter module having the trigger on the grip, the trigger when activated, operative for opening the reservoir to the conduit, allowing the gaseous fuel to flow to the collar, the trigger operative for generating a spark from the igniter, the spark igniting the gaseous fuel at the collar producing a flame operative for starting a solid fuel fire and stimulating the flame to glowing stage in the solid fuel;
• and a battery-operated fan having an axis centered inside the chamber parallel to the barrel, the fan activated after the fire is at a glowing stage, the fan operative for establishing and spreading the fire throughout the solid fuel, the fan blowing air through the chamber and out the barrel onto the solid fuel fire, the air stimulating the fire to a burning stage.
