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)
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
