A fire starter consists of a ring-shaped mass of combustible of wax and wood. It consists of a series of inverted frusto-conical sections connected together by a series of inverted triangular connecting sections and a having a substantially central aperture, and having spacers for supporting the mass of material above a supporting surface, e.g. the floor of a fireplace. During the process for manufacturing the fire starter, the wax and wood mixture is subject to high pressure of 700 psi to 800 psi resulting in the formation of veneer layer of wax on the outer surfaces of the fire starter. During combustion of the fire starter, a venturi effect is created by a flow of air to the aperture, providing a relatively high, intense flame. The fire starter burns for a period of time, e.g, 8-12 minutes, and the intensity of the flame generated is capable of igniting conventional fireplace logs without the use of kindling. Multiple fire starters are packaged by placing the fire starters in vertical stacked relationship within the internal cavity of a tubular package. A rolled sheet of instructions is inserted through the aligned apertures in the stacked fire starters.

1.

1. A fire starter, consisting of a mass of solid combustible material of a mixture of wax and wood particles and having a closed shape and a coplanar, common, upper horizontal surface, consisting of a series of spaced, inverted, frustro-conical sections connected together by a series of inverted triangular connecting sections, each frustro-conical section consisting of a flared outwardly diverging sidewall, at least two spaced apart feet, each having a sidewall and a bottom surface extending downwardly from the lower end of each frustro-conical section for engagement with a supporting surface, the frustro-conical sections and the connecting sections defining the upper surface, the sidewall of each inverted frustro-conical section defining an arcuate upper outer edge and an arcuate upper inner edge, each connecting section defining linear upper outer and inner edges, the linear outer edges extending between adjacent arcuate outer edges, and the linear inner edges extending between adjacent arcuate inner edges, the arcuate inner edges and the linear inner edges defining boundaries of an aperture extending substantially centrally through the upper surface, the frustro-conical sections forming laterally, outwardly opening air spaces providing flow of air to the aperture during combustion of the mass of solid combustible material, each air passage being inwardly convergent so as to accelerate air as it passes from the exterior of the fire starter into the aperture,wherein the mass of solid combustible material defines an outer veneer layer defining at least in part the outer surface of the mass of solid combustible material, the veneer layer consisting primarily of wax, and wherein the wood particles are distributed throughout an inner portion of the mass of solid combustible material located inwardly of the veneer layer.
