Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0053700A1] A firelighter (12) for a solid fuel fire comprises a body formed substantially from combustible material, said body defining a cavity (20) enclosed at least in part by the remainder of said body and lighting means (16) extending into and being substantially surrounded by said cavity (20), said body further including ventilation means (14) extending from an exterior surface of said body to communicate with said cavity (20). The firelighter (12) burns more efficiently than conventional firelighters and is resistant to being extinguished by surrounding fuel. Preferred embodiments are moulded in one piece, in situ in packaging trays. The ventilation means (14) may comprise apertures and channels formed in the body of the firelighter. Also disclosed is a firelighter comprising a body of combustible material enclosed within a frame, which may also contain kindling material.
