Plain old paper matches, newspaper, fatwood kindling, firewood = beautiful, billowing woodstove heat to warm hearth and home and, most importantly, the Wife!
Longest lasting, best powerful lighter. It stays by the stove for winter, then in spring it becomes a charcoal lighter for the grill. Lasts a long time, unless your 12 year old son decides it's fun to play with outside at the firepit. One day it was almost full, the next day empty, and random things burned in the pit....
