Love making them too. Only I put in wood shavings from when I built my shed. ( I have a hole garbage bag full of wood shavings)

This is amateur hour. If you want to do it right, go to your local Dollar Store and get a bag of Cotton Balls (Make sure they are Cotton!) and a jar of cheap Petroleum Jelly. Melt the Petroleum Jelly in a disposable 8X8 foil pan, or any pan you like, and once melted add the cotton balls, pressing them into the liquid until you have a saturated mass, then let cool. You now have dozens of lite-weight, compact, waterproof Fire Starters that easily lite by spark or match. Just fluff one up and lite
