Fire starting torch

Abstract

A fire starting torch comprising having a central portion with a bored opening defined therein extending from an exterior surface of the central portion to a fire starting location within an interior of the central portion. At least one bored passage extends from an exterior surface of the central portion to be in connection with the bored opening and the fire starting location, to create an air flow supply path within the torch. Fire starting materials are positioned within at least one of the fire starting location and the passage for enabling a user to begin a fire within the torch. A handle is also provided on the central portion.

I claim: 
     
         20 . A fire starting torch comprising:
 a central portion having a longitudinally extending bored opening defined therein, the bored opening extending from an exterior surface of the central portion to a fire starting location within an interior of the central portion;   at least one bored passage extending from the exterior surface of the central portion to be in connection with the bored opening and the fire starting location within the interior of the central portion, the connection of the at least one bored passage and the bored opening creating an air flow supply path within the torch;   fire starting material positioned within at least one of the fire starting location and the at least one bored passage for enabling a user to begin a fire within the torch;   a handle connected to the exterior surface of the central portion; and   a label positioned to cover at least one of the at least one bored passage and the bored opening until use of the fire starting torch by the user.   
     
     
         21 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the at least one bored passage is constructed and arranged to be substantially perpendicular to the bored opening. 
     
     
         22 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the bored opening and the at least one bored passage are substantially cylindrical. 
     
     
         23 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the fire starting material further comprises at least one of a wick and wood material. 
     
     
         24 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the at least one bored passage is positioned on a side surface of the central portion. 
     
     
         25 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the bored opening is positioned on an upper surface of the central portion. 
     
     
         26 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 23 , wherein the at least one of the wick and wood material is bonded to at least one of an interior surface of the at least one bored passage and the fire starting location. 
     
     
         27 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 26 , wherein at least one end of the wick extends beyond the exterior surface of the central portion. 
     
     
         28 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 23 , wherein both ends of the wick are positioned within at least one of an interior surface of the at least one bored passage and the fire starting location. 
     
     
         29 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the central portion is made of wooden material. 
     
     
         30 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the central portion is made of a combustible material. 
     
     
         31 . The fire starting torch according to  claim 20 , wherein the central portion is substantially cylindrical. 
     
     
         32 . A method for manufacturing a fire starting torch comprising:
 boring a longitudinally extending opening within a central portion to extend from an exterior surface of the central portion to a fire starting location within an interior of the central portion;   boring at least one passage to extend from the exterior surface of the central portion to be in connection with the opening and the fire starting location within the interior of the central portion to create an air flow supply path within the fire starting torch;   positioning fire starting material within at least one of the fire starting location and the at least one passage for enabling a user to begin a fire within the torch;   securing a handle to the exterior surface of the central portion; and   positioning a label to cover at least one of the at least one passage and the longitudinally extending opening until use of the fire starting torch by the user.   
     
     
         33 . The method of  claim 32 , further comprising positioning the fire starting material within at least one of an interior surface of the at least one passage and the fire starting location. 
     
     
         34 . A fire starting torch comprising:
 a central portion having a longitudinally extending bored opening defined therein, the bored opening having a truncated conical shape extending from an exterior surface of the central portion to a fire starting location within an interior of the central portion;   at least one bored passage extending from the exterior surface of the central portion to be in connection with the bored opening and the fire starting location within the interior of the central portion, the connection of the at least one bored passage and the bored opening creating an air flow supply path within the torch;   fire starting material positioned within at least one of the fire starting location and the at least one bored passage for enabling a user to begin a fire within the torch;   a handle connected to the exterior surface of the central portion; and   a label positioned to cover at least one of the at least one bored passage and the bored opening until use of the fire starting torch by the user.
