Abstract
A method for igniting a fuel source utilizing a fuel ignition system, the method comprising the steps of providing a housing having an outer lateral surface, an inner lateral surface, a top opening and a bottom opening, and a plurality of vent holes and a plurality of stops on a bottom portion of the housing; positioning a flammable support over the plurality of stops through the top opening of the housing; adding the fuel source on the flammable support through the top opening; igniting the flammable support utilizing an igniting means; facilitating a rapid and uniform ignition of the fuel source utilizing the heat generated during the ignition of the flammable support inside the housing; and wherein the flammable support is the only flammable component of the system.
Claims21
A method for igniting a fuel source utilizing a fuel ignition system, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a housing having an outer lateral surface, an inner lateral surface, a top opening and a bottom opening, and a plurality of vent holes and a plurality of stops on a bottom portion of the housing;
- c. positioning a flammable support over the plurality of stops through the top opening of the housing;
- d. adding the fuel source, wherein the fuel source is positioned above and below the flammable support;
- e. igniting the flammable support utilizing an igniting means;
- f. facilitating a rapid and uniform ignition of the fuel source utilizing the heat generated during the ignition of the flammable support inside the housing;
- and
- g. wherein the flammable support is the only flammable component of the system.
A method for igniting a fuel source utilizing a fuel ignition system, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a housing having an outer lateral surface, an inner lateral surface, a top portion, a bottom portion, a top opening and a bottom opening, a plurality of vent holes positioned at the bottom portion, and a plurality of stops positioned at the inner lateral surface, and wherein a thermally resistant handle is attached to the outer lateral surface;
- b. positioning a flammable support over the plurality of stops, wherein the flammable support is the only flammable component of the fuel ignition system;
- c. placing a fuel source against the flammable support, wherein the fuel source is positioned above and below the flammable support;
- d. igniting the flammable support;
- e. creating from the igniting step a heat energy sufficient to ignite the fuel source but not any other housing component.
The method of 10 further comprising placing the flammable support in position through the top opening of the housing.
