I don't really like the mag myself. I can't find any spark rods where I live, so I suppose I'll have to get some online. I found that just a few strikes lit drier lint faster than anything else I tried.

I have a whole Pine stump ie fatwood that I plan to cut up to size. I am wondering how well it would work if I took the shavings from the fatwood (from using the chainsaw) and mix it with melted wax and form them in ice trays... do you think that would work or just waste my time?
