ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an ignitable fire starting system, including the fuel and the means to ignite. A method is disclosed comprised of the steps of soaking a strip of cloth in a liquid fuel and laying one or more sources of ignition on the fuel soaked strip of cloth. The one or more sources of ignition can be one or more matches. The strip of cloth can be divided into a plurality of sections. The fuel soaked strip of cloth and the one or more sources of ignition may be rolled up to form a cylinder. When one wants to start a fire, one may unroll the cylinder and detach a first section of the fuel soaked strip of cloth. The liquid fuel may be a wax such as paraffin. The step of dividing the strip of cloth into a plurality of sections may comprise partially cutting the cloth along first and second lines where the first line and a first end of the cloth are the boundaries for a first section of the cloth and the second line and the first line are the boundaries for a second section of the cloth. If a wax such as paraffin is used, it may be hot, such as above its melting point when the strip of cloth is soaked in it, when the one or more sources of ignition are laid on top of the soaked strip of cloth, and when the soaked strip cloth is rolled up to form a cylinder. The liquid fuel can thereafter be allowed to cool down and harden and then one of the one or more sources of ignition can be ignited to cause the particular source of ignition to ignite. After the liquid fuel is allowed to cool down and harden but before one of the one or more sources of ignition is ignited, excess fuel can be removed from the source of ignition that will be ignited.
