Abstract: A combustible bag for igniting material (10) having an outer liner (12) and an inner liner (14). A lighting strip (16) is attached to one or both ends of the outer liner (12) and extends beyond the bag for ease of ignition. The inner liner (14) consists of an inside (24) and an outside (26), with the inside (24) conformed to contain material (22) to be ignited, such as wood chunks, and an outside (26) which is treated with a combustible product (28). The outer liner (12) also has an inside (30) and an outside (32). The inside (30) of the outer liner (12) is conformed to contain the inner liner (14) and is also treated with a combustible product (28). The material to be ignited by the combustible bag (10) of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes dried green wood, which has been treated with paraffin so that the paraffin not only covers the wood, but impregnates it, as well.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing ignitable material (10) having an angled, rotatable, hollow drum (12) with a high end entrance (14) and a low end exit (16). A molten treatment vat (18) containing molten treatment (44), such as paraffin, within which angled, rotatable, hollow drum (12) is rotated is also provided. The treatment vat (18) is heated so that the treatment (44) contained in the vat is kept molten. Additionally, ejection guides (58) are attached interiorly of the hollow drum adjacent the low end exit (16). Further, a molten treatment excess return (46) is connected to the low end so that the material introduced at the high end entrance (14) which is rotated through the molten treatment (44) and then ejected by the ejection guides (58) from the exit end (16) is allowed to shed excess molten treatment (44) which is returned to the molten treatment vat (18) for reuse.
