@staphinfection I had the exact same thought as well. But Roland uses a more primitive firesteel, I'm guessing one of those curved ones you hold in your hand and strike actual flint stones with. (major Dark Tower nerd here)

LOL.... I first thought the same thing when I saw "Stephen King"... I though maybe this was some contraption Roland Deschain of Gilead used during his travels to the Dark Tower....

@HikerJohn316 No. Saltpeter is saltpeter... and I think the word you are looking for is sulfur.

That contraption is called "yesquero" in Spanish. The gauchos used it in the past and you can still see the odd one sold in country general stores. The match is indeed soaked in saltpeter as in a matchlock.
