- Numerous devices and chemicals exist to assist one in starting a fire (e.g., fireplace fire, charcoal fire, campfire). Historically, kindling and/or newspaper was used to start a fire. A company called Duraflame® sells a fire starter called firestart® that is used to assist one in starting a composite fire log or wood fire. Lighter fluid or fuel is doused on charcoal briquettes and then lit to facilitate ignition of the charcoal briquettes of a charcoal fire. A problem with all of the devices and chemicals used in starting a fire is that none of them are re-usable. Consequently, these firestarting devices or chemicals are consumed with the fire and no longer effective after a single use.

- An additional aspect of the invention involves method of using a fire starter to light one or more ignitable elements of a fire. The method includes providing a fire starter made of a low-density xonotlite calcium silicate hydrate; adding an inflammable liquid to the fire starter; positioning the fire starter under one or more ignitable elements; lighting the fire starter so that the inflammable liquid in the fire starter burns without significant combustion of the fire starter; lighting the one or more ignitable elements with the fire starter; removing the fire starter after the fire is consumed; and reusing the fire starter to light one or more new, different ignitable elements for a new fire.
- Another aspect of the invention involves a method of using a fire starter to light one or more ignitable elements of a fire including providing a fire starter made of a calcium silicate hydrate adsorbed with an inflammable liquid; positioning the fire starter adjacent one or more ignitable elements; lighting the fire starter so that the inflammable liquid adsorbed in the fire starter burns without significantly affecting the integrity of the fire starter; lighting the one or more ignitable elements with the fire starter to start the fire; and repeating the above steps with the same fire starter to light one or more new, different ignitable elements for a new fire.

FIGS. 1-4 , and particularly toFIG. 3 , anexemplary method 40 of using thefire starter 10 for lighting a fire 20 (e.g., charcoal fire, fireplace fire, campfire) will now be described. Atstep 50, thefire starter 10 is provided. This may include removing thefire starter 10 from acontainer 12 by first grabbing acontainer body 14 and removing acap 16 from thecontainer body 14. Thefire starter 10 may be removed from thecontainer body 14 using one's hands or by turning thecontainer body 14 upside-down, so thefire starter 10 is emptied out onto a surface. Atstep 60, an inflammable liquid (e.g., lighting fluid, camp fuel, citronella, kerosene) commonly used to start a fire is added to thefire starter 10. Thefire starter 10 absorbs the inflammable liquid during this step. As will be described in more detail below with respect toFIG. 4 , this step may include adding the inflammable liquid to thecontainer 12, inserting thefire starter 10 into thecontainer 12 and the inflammable liquid so that thefire starter 10 absorbs the inflammable liquid. Atstep 70, which may be prior to step 60 or afterstep 60, thefire starter 10 is positioned under ignitable elements 30 (e.g., charcoal briquettes, firewood, kindling). During this step, thefire starter 10 may first be positioned on a surface and theignitable elements 30 may be added around or over thefire starter 10 while keeping thefire starter 10 exposed, or thefire starter 10 may inserted in between or underneath theignitable elements 30. Atstep 80, the exposed part of thefire starter 10 is ignited with a match or lighter. This causes the absorbed lighter fluid in thefire starter 10 to burn until the lighter fluid is consumed, which is typically 5-15 minutes. Atstep 90, the flames from thefire starter 10 ignite and burn theignitable elements 30 of thefire 20. After thefire 20 is completed and theignitable elements 30 consumed and cooled, thefire starter 10 is removed from the ashes and placed in thecontainer 12. Thefire starter 10 is stored for re-use in thecontainer 12 and when it is desired to light another fire, themethod 40 of using thefire starter 10 starts over atstep 50. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , anexemplary method 60 of adding inflammable liquid to thefire starter 10 or replenishing thefire starter 10 with inflammable liquid will be described. First, atstep 130, the inflammable liquid (e.g., lighting fluid, camp fuel, citronella, kerosene) is added to thecontainer body 14. Preferably, thecontainer body 14 is filled about ⅛ of its volume with the inflammable liquid. Next, atstep 140, thefire starter 10 is inserted into thecontainer body 14 and the inflammable liquid. Thecontainer body 14 may be capped withcap 16 during this step. Duringstep 140, the inflammable liquid is absorbed by thefire starter 10. Finally, atstep 150, thefire starter 10 is removed from thecontainer 12 after the inflammable liquid is absorbed by thefire starter 10. Thefire starter 10 is now ready for use to start a fire. - Because the
fire starter 10 maintains its integrity and does not break down at elevated temperatures, has low thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures, is non-combustible, is highly absorbent, is environmentally friendly, drying restores original properties, thermal efficiencies do not deteriorate over time, has low thermal shrinkage, and has no binders that can break down at high temperatures or over time ensuring optimal thermal performance throughout the lifespan offire starter 10, thefire starter 10 and method of use is ideal for starting almost any type of fire, and is especially ideal for starting charcoal fires, fireplace fires, and campfires. - It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that still further changes and modifications in the actual concepts described herein can readily be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
