Abstract

An apparatus for igniting charcoal with the help of an inflammable sustainable material, especially a material based on wood, consists of a cage which receives the charcoal and comprises a circumferential wall ( 1 ) which is provided with pass-through openings ( 12 ) and is made of the sustainable material.

1 . An apparatus for igniting charcoal with the help of an inflammable sustainable material, especially a material based on wood, characterized by a cage which receives the charcoal and comprises a circumferential wall ( 1 ) which is provided with pass-through openings ( 12 ) and is made of the sustainable material.  
   
   
       2 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circumferential wall ( 1 ) is polygonal and is composed of straight walls ( 2 ,  3 ).  
   
   
       3 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the walls ( 2 ,  3 ) of the circumferential wall ( 1 ) of the cage consist of rods ( 4 ) which are stacked above one another at a distance from each other and are made of a sustainable material.  
   
   
       4 . An apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the ends of the rods ( 4 ) of adjacent cage walls ( 2 ,  3 ) are stacked in an alternating fashion and are joined with each other.  
   
   
       5 . An apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the ends of the stacked rods ( 4 ) are mutually joined through wood dowels ( 5 ) penetrating the same.  
   
   
       6 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the cage has a floor ( 9 ) made of cardboard.  
   
   
       7 . An apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the cardboard forming the floor ( 9 ) is held between the two lowermost layers ( 7 ,  8 ) of rods.  
   
   
       8 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circumferential wall ( 1 ) of the cage is impregnated at least in sections with an easily inflammable combustible.  
   
   
       9 . An apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the cage carries igniting aids ( 10 ) in its corner region on the floor side, which igniting aids are impregnated with an easily inflammable combustible.
