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.

“Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—”
