Abstract
Fire ignition systems, combustible ignition structures, and methods of manufacturing and using such systems and devices are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, a fire ignition system may include a combustible container and a combustible ignition structure removably insertable into an interior of the combustible container. In various embodiments, the combustible ignition structure may include a base having a top surface and a chimney extending from the top surface. In various embodiments, the chimney may have an inner flue, a top opening into the flue, and an aperture through a side of the chimney into the flue. Other embodiments may be disclosed herein.
Claims22
A fire ignition system, comprising:
- a combustible container;
- and
- a combustible ignition structure removably insertable into an interior of the combustible container and including:
- a base having a top surface;
- and
- a chimney extending from the top surface, the chimney having an inner flue, a top opening into the flue, and an aperture through a side of the chimney, wherein the aperture through the side of the chimney is closer to the top surface of the base than a top of the chimney and wherein the chimney includes at least four side walls, each side wall including an aperture through the side wall closer to the top surface of the base than the top of the chimney.
A fire ignition system, comprising:
- a combustible container;
- solid fuel insertable into the combustible container;
- and
- a combustible ignition structure constructed with a single piece of foldable material removably insertable into an interior of the combustible container and including:
- a base having a top surface;
- and
- a chimney extending from the top surface, the chimney having an inner flue, a top opening into the flue, and an aperture through a side of the chimney wherein the combustible ignition structure is ignitable to ignite the solid fuel, wherein the chimney includes at least four side walls, each side wall including an aperture through the side wall closer to the top surface of the base than the top of the chimney.
A fire ignition system, comprising:
- a combustible bag defining an interior and a bottom surface having a footprint;
- a combustible ignition structure comprising a foldable cardboard sheet, said combustible ignition structure being removably insertable into an interior of the combustible bag and including:
- a base having a similar footprint as the combustible bag;
- and
- a chimney extending from a center of the base and having a top opening into an inner flue;
- wherein the chimney is defined by a first portion of the foldable cardboard sheet, the first portion having a plurality of subsections within the first portion, where opposed end subsections of the first portion are joined to form the chimney having an elongate chimney shape with a central opening therethrough, each of the subsections defining the sidewalls of the chimney, and
- wherein the base is defined by a second portion of the foldable cardboard sheet, the second portion of the foldable cardboard sheet extending from the first portion of the foldable cardboard sheet, the second portion having a bottom opening through which the chimney defined by the first portion of the foldable cardboard sheet extends.
