The easiest way to fan the flames of any fire is with one of these fireplace bellows. Although they are excellent at encouraging recalcitrant kindling, some of them are elegant enough to be used solely as decorative items if you never use your fireplace. We've even included some electric blowers for those who find manual models too labor intensive.
How Fire Relies On Air To Burn
Mankind has been harnessing the power of fire for quite a long time. It was long believed that humans started using fire sometime between 300,000 and 400,000 years ago, based on evidence from the Qesem cave in Israel. More recent evidence from a similar locale called the Wonderwerk cave in South Africa provided scientists with evidence that human-controlled fire dates back at least 1 million years.
Fire has given us the ability to cook our food, to boil contaminants out of water, to power everything from the steam engine to the space shuttle, and to keep ourselves from succumbing to the elements, whether they be a frigid wind whipping through our campsite or a howling gale rattling the windows of a cozy home.
And all that time, fire has consisted of three simple parts: heat, fuel, and an oxidizer. As long as you have enough (and sometimes the proper portions) of fuel and an oxidizer or oxygen-rich material, all you need is to heat them up to a sufficient flash point to create a flame. This is why rubbing two sticks together can theoretically start a fire. The wood is a fuel source, you do the rubbing surrounded by air (which has enough oxygen in it to get the party started), and the friction between the wood pieces can create enough heat to reach the flash point of the wood-air combination.
Whether you’re using wood, coals, or a fossil fuel like gasoline, combustion converts the oxygen in the air into carbon dioxide, which, in enough abundance, can actually hinder the growth or consistency of a flame. This is most dangerous for the life of a good fire when it’s just starting out, and when it’s close to dying. A small amount of kindling that’s just begun to burn gives off a lot of local carbon dioxide, and if the air around it is too still, there might not be enough new oxygen introduced to the environment to get your fire blazing. This is why you blow on a fire to get it started, and it's where a bellows can come in.
The fireplace bellows is a tool designed to introduce both fresh air and a steady current to the space around a fire. That current both removes the carbon dioxide that the fire itself produced, and introduces more oxygen-rich air to the mix, keeping your flame burning higher and hotter.
