Hope this is ok, just sharing a different way of lighting fires. Like all fire methods it's not men't to work in all situation and weather. But what it does do is lighten the burden on my main ways of lighting fires. If it's windy out you have to shield it from the wind. If it's raining you have to shield it, but i have used it all year in all four seasons and it worked every time. Not saying it worked the first time every time. Saying it worked but it may have taken two or three caps to get the fire lit. Will also work with jute and seed fluff, still working on this. Don't be shy and let me know what you all think...OT
