ABSTRACT:
A new and improved fire starter composition includes a liquid fuel component, a solid oxidant component retained in separation from the liquid fuel component until ready for use, and a blend of the liquid fuel component and the solid oxidant component for starting a fire. The liquid fuel component is selected from the group consisting of glycerin, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and methanol, and mixtures thereof. The solid oxidant component is selected from the group consisting of potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate. More specifically, the solid oxidant component is powdered potassium permanganate. In addition, a method is provided for starting a fire, wherein the method includes the steps of: obtaining a quantity of a solid fuel material; adding a quantity of a powdered solid oxidant material to the solid fuel material to obtain a blend of solid fuel material and solid oxidant; adding a quantity of a liquid fuel material to the blend of solid fuel material and solid oxidant; and waiting for a fire to spontaneously burst into flame. In carrying out the method of the invention, the solid oxidant material is selected from the group consisting of potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate; and the liquid fuel material is selected from the group consisting of glycerin, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and methanol, and mixtures thereof.
