Works fine. A few things I noticed:
Start with a fresh layed set of coals, if smoke is an issue, with a hot enough fire, you can place a coal near the vent, to burn the escaping gas. If you use an old set of coals, you might not get enough heat to do this. This works fine with ordinary cotton balls. The resulting char keeps the properties of the original ball, so you can stuff quite a bit of it in a film canister for a watertight emergency fire starting kit.

i only have a flint at the moment and was going to buy a magnesium stick but this is probably cheaper, thanks alot

The magnesium precludes the need to use char-cloth. They will both catch a spark very well. Only the magnesium works when wet. You need the shavings because only the edge of the shavings are small enough to catch a spark. You don't want to handle the char-cloth too much because of the oils on your skin, and the super-fine fuzz on the surface that catches the spark are flatened with contact.
