<p>An air fire lighter (10) having fuel, an igniter and a ducted fan for igniting a solid fuel fire. The fuel travels through the fire lighter to a collar (40) at a distal end (14D) of the fire lighter, transforming into a vapor that is ignited by an igniter. As the solid fuel begins to glow at the initiation of the fire, the fan (60) is activated, shutting off the vapors from the fuel. The fan blows air through a chamber (16) onto the fire, causing the fire to spread throughout the solid fuel, establishing and spreading the fire through an ignition period. The chamber (16) has a volume and ducting for providing optimal airflow to the fire. The fan (60) is battery-operated. The lighter (10) is lightweight and compact with a swiveling handle that adjusts for optimal placement of the lighter for addressing the solid fuel, folding for portability and storage.</p> |
