Abstract

A fire kindler particularly adapted for ease of ignition and complete combustion so as to render the initiation of a log fire in a fireplace a quick and easy task. The fire kindler comprises a combustible block having a generally V-shaped aperture therethrough and at least one slot extending across the top of the combustible block and downwardly into the block so as to be in fluid communication with the V-shaped aperture.
