Ember Development
Once an ember in the tinder is lit, it is transferred to a larger tinder such as a bundle of dried grass and then blown gently until a flame is created. Then it is necessary to put this lit bundle on the ground, after which small twigs and other small kindling are placed above it, then successively larger pieces of fuel.

Famous quotes containing the words ember and/or development:
“Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;Mvainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
