Abstract: A fire starting device comprised of a hand covering impregnated with a solid fuel and optionally other consumption safe additives. Unlike other fire starting devices, this fire starting glove can be safely worn by the user while preparing a fire starting site such as a charcoal grill or wood burning stove to protect the wearer's hands from dirt, grease, grime and minor injuries such as cuts or scrapes. Once the fire site is prepared and the user is ready to start the fire, the glove is removed from the hand by pulling from the wrist end which turns the glove inside out, encasing any dirt, grease, grime, etc. The glove can then be placed in the fire starting site and lit with a match or butane lighter, etc. and covered with charcoal, etc. to start the desired fire.
