Abstract: Combustion rate adjustable firelogs and methods of manufacturing are described. One aspect of the present invention are firelogs manufactured with an integral combustion shield for covering a portion of the surface area of the firelog that may be selectively utilized to set the duration and burning rate as the manufactured firelog is consumed during the fire. By way of example and not of limitation, the integral combustion shield is made of a thin flame resistant or non-flammable material, such as aluminum, which covers a portion of the firelog to control the combustion rate. Another aspect of the invention is the adaptation of wrapped firelogs so that they may be easily divided while retaining wrapper portions thereupon. Another aspect of the invention is the adaptation of the shapes of the firelogs so that they may be utilized either separately or in combination with one another.

Abstract: Enhanced consumables providing an enhanced consumption rate adjustable firelog wherein the consumer can select the burning rate, baked buns which are resistant to hinge splitting when a consumer inserts food items therein, wine bottle corks which may be easily removed by the consumer without specific hardware such as corkscrews, electronic soap for entertaining bathing children, bathroom mirror defog sheets which facilitate consumer use of mirrors subject to steam fogging, and a breath “equalizer” preparation which reduces the sensitivity of the consumer to specific forms of breath born halitosis, such as garlic and onions.
