Benefits of technology
The present invention provides an all-natural fire starter that is environmentally friendly and easy to make. The fire starter is made by impregnating a natural article with a natural, inflammable agent that can be liquidified and solidified. The technical effect of this invention is to provide an effective and safe fire starter that is easy to make and use.
Problems solved by technology
The major drawbacks of this method all relate to the tendency of causing accidental fires: (1) It is not uncommon for fires started in such manner to “flash back” into the inflammable liquid container causing it to explode.
(2) Liquids are prone to spillage; therefore, pouring a liquid over an area to be set on fire could prove dangerous since the liquid might spill to other areas that are not intended to be lit setting said other areas on fire.
This is exceptionally unsafe when utilized during camping or hunting trips in wooded areas.
(3) Most highly inflammable liquids are combustible, which makes their storage problematic.
However, known fire starters include the use of inflammable materials that harm the environment—prior to or after lighting.
This limitation is not acceptable in today's world: it is not condoned and is often frowned upon.
Also, most known fire starters require the use of multiple agents and materials, and more importantly, are not very easy to manufacture.
Further, many of these fire starters use chemical materials that should not be used in starting fires to be used for cooking due to health issues.

Embodiment Construction
[0015] The following description describes only preferred embodiments of the present invention. Various modifications might be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention, which is only limited by the appended claims. Therefore, the embodiments described are only illustrative, not restrictive.
[0016] To avoid any confusion, the word “inflammable” needs to be defined. It is not uncommon for people to use the word “flammable” to mean “readily combustible.” Further, certain people might be thrown off by the “in-” in the word “inflammable” to think that it means “not combustible.” It will be generally understood that the term “inflammable” as used hereinafter is used in the dictionary sense and means “readily combustible.”
[0017] Although there exists many natural, inflammable materials that do not harm the environment when burned (all of which could be used for the purpose of the present invention), in the preferred embodiment, beeswax,...

Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO A “SEQUENCE LISTING”[0003] Not applicable. FIELD OF INVENTION [0004] The invention relates to fire starters and, in particular, it relates to easily ignited, environment-friendly fire starters used as igniters for other long burning materials. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] The method of igniting a hard-to-light, long-burning article by placing it in the vicinity of an easy-to-light article and igniting the easy-to-light article as a primer for the hard-to-light article has heretofore been existant for sometime. [0006] A preliminary way of implementing this method is to pour a highly inflammable liquid over the hard-to-light, long-burning article and ignite the inflammable liquid. The major drawbacks of this method all relate to the tendency of causing accidental fires: (1) It is not uncommon for fires started in such m...
