Abstract
Abstract A solid fire starter which will provide a high temperature consisting of a mixture of hexamethylenetetramine, magnesium powder, an oxygen producing chemical, and a binder. The preferred proportion of magnesium to hexamethylenetetramine is about 2 to 3. The preferred oxygen-producing chemicals include tartaric acid and sodium nitrate. The preferred composition comprises 80 parts of magnesium powder, 120 parts of hexamethylenetetramine, 50 parts tartaric acid, 100 parts sodium nitrate, and 45 parts of wax.
