Abstract
An igniter for solid cooking fuels includes a heat chamber and a heat gun manifold. The heat gun manifold includes a manifold flange with a first hole, the manifold flange attached to a bottom of the heat chamber, and a manifold tube received within the first hole. A top of the manifold tube received at least partially within the heat chamber. A heat gun may be removably coupled to a bottom of the manifold tube with the heat gun in fluid communication with the heat chamber. An upper handle may be attached to an outer surface of the heat chamber with a heat shield between the upper handle and the heat chamber.

An igniter for solid fuel, comprising:
- a heat chamber;
- a heat gun manifold, the heat gun manifold comprising:
- a manifold flange attached to a bottom of the heat chamber, the manifold flange having at least one tube receiving opening;
- and
- at least one manifold tube inserted in the at least one tube receiving opening, wherein the at least one manifold tube is at least partially within the heat chamber;
- and
- at least one heat gun removably coupled to a bottom portion of the at least one manifold tube.
A method of igniting solid fuel, comprising:
- providing an apparatus for facilitating ignition of solid fuel, the apparatus comprising:
- (i) a heat chamber;
- (ii) a manifold flange attached to a bottom of the heat chamber, the manifold flange having a tube receiving opening, (iii) a manifold tube inserted in the tube receiving opening, wherein the manifold tube is at least partially within the heat chamber;
- and (iii) a heat gun removably coupled to a bottom portion of the manifold tube;
- and
- activating the heat gun to achieve sustained ignition of a solid fuel positioned in the heat chamber.
