    I'm in the long lighter group with a 1/4 super cedar. For the fire pit I use a micro torch and a super cedar. Speaking of which I have a mountain of leaves under a few inches of snow to get burned yet. :tears:

    5 minutes on FHC yields a desire for more firewood - should get you outside.
    Sure beats wanting maxipads and a new vacuum cleaner.

    I use an ad blocker. Means I get rejected at (mostly) some news sites, but that's OK.
    I can handle rejection.

    When I need a light.

    During the season though it’s just rake the coals and load it. If it needs a kick, I crack the door a bit after it’s been smoldering and it’s lit.

    I still have some of the old paper matches somewhere around here. I think I have a couple with good looking girls on it.

    I do as well, or a long lighter if I need to, a normal lighter works fine for the wax starters I use as well.
