It allows me to get a fire started using a minimal amount of tinder and kindling, and without any other firestarters. This is one of those simple, good ideas.  You blow into the FireDragon to shoot a directed, bellows-like blast of air into your fire, creating a supercharging effect. This helps get larger chunks of wood to ignite and burn steadily when lighting a fire or adding a new log to a fire that isn&#8217;t burning well, and it can return a smoldering fire to blazes with a few puffs. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"firedragon2.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/firedragon2.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"299\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s basically a 3-foot long steel tube with a brass mouthpiece (that makes me think of a flattened trombone mouthpiece) and a forked end that can serve as a fire poker, log re-arranger, and coal raker. The manufacturer says they got the idea from Civil War soldiers that would take the barrels off their rifles and blow through them to fan their campfires. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"firedragon3.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/firedragon3.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"253\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now I find I want the FireDragon any time I&#8217;m around a fire, so it goes along camping.
