| 摘要 | Apparatus is disclosed to be placed in an outdoor charcoal barbeque or in an indoor fireplace below the charcoal or wood to ignite the charcoal or wood. The apparatus comprises a metal container having ceramic chips supported therein so that the chips can be soaked by ignitable fluid and ignited to provide a uniform heat to the charcoal, wood or other combustible material supported above the chips. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. A charcoal igniting device comprising a container adapted to be positioned beneath the charcoal to be ignited; ceramic chip means disposed within said container; means for introducing combustible fuel into said container; and means for igniting said combustible fuel within said container to heat said ceramic chip means until the temperature thereof is elevated sufficiently to provide a uniform source of heat beneath said charcoal, said means for introducing combustible fuel including an elongated member connected to said container, said elongated member having a central bore therein, one end of said central bore directly communicating with the interior of said container, a handle mounted at the end of said elongated member which is spaced from said container, and a port in said elongated member communicating with said central bore therein, said port being for the reception of the combustible fuel, which fuel can flow from said port, through said central bore into said container; said means for igniting said combustible fuel including an ignitable wick means positioned in said central bore of said elongated member; and means for moving said wick means between a first position in said central bore adjacent said port where said wick means can be ignited and a second position in said central bore adjacent said container where said wick means can ignite the fuel in said container. 2. A charcoal igniting device according to claim 1 wherein said means for moving said ignitable wick means includes a longitudinal slot means located in said elongated member; a rod connected at one end to said ignitable wick means and located in said central bore; and a bolt handle connected to said rod and adapted to pass through and be movable along said slot means between a first and second position. 3. A charcoal igniting device according to claim 1 further including a series of spaced openings in the top portion of said elongated member between said port and said container for providing air to said ignitable wick means. 4. A charcoal igniting device according to claim 2 further including a notched area at each end of said slot means for engaging said bolt handle when said bolt handle is in its first and second positions respectively. 5. A charcoal igniting device according to claim 1 further including a grill mounted on the top of said container for supporting charcoal thereon. 6. A charcoal igniting device according to claim 1 wherein said ignitable wick means is a piece of ceramic material. 7. A charcoal igniting device according to claim 1 wherein said handle is formed from material which is a poor conductor of heat. 8. A charcoal igniting device according to claim 3 wherein said port is located in said elongated member such that, when said wick means is in said first position, said wick means is located between said port and said container so that fuel poured into said port and flowing through said central bore soaks said wick so that it may be ignited. |
