ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a structure for rapidly and efficiently igniting charcoal briquettes of the type employed with home barbeque grills.
A housing generally comprises a longitudinal cylindrical form fabricated from a plurality of non-combustible rings which are secured to a frame to form an enclosure for accomodating a desired amount of fuel. The frame includes a central support ring located near the top end of the housing and a bar located a given distance from the bottom of the housing. The bar has a projecting central portion.
A sheet of combustible material is rolled to form a tubular member and is inserted in and encircled by the top support ring of the frame with the projection on the bottom bar surrounded by the tube at the other end. The combustible tube forms a flue and is surrounded by charcoal which is emplaced within the housing. The tubular flue is then lit.
The housing in combination with the flue causes a rapid circulation of heated air. The process is regenerative and the charcoal briquettes which surround the flue are rapidly and efficiently ignited.
