[QUOTE="jmden, post: 491575, member: 1742"] I know there's lots of ideas out there of how to start a fire, but this has worked very well in the Kifaru stoves for me: [url=http://www.rei.com/product/407008]Diamond Strike-a-Fire Matches at REI.com[/url] I use 1/4 of a stick at a time and have a quick fire in the morning and a cooking/dry off/warm up fire at night, so I use 1 full stick every 2 days. Use a butane lighter to light it. At freezing and below, butane starts to not work so well, so you need to keep the butane warm or warm it up a bit before use for it to work well, or at all, in colder temps. Pretty much won't work in single digit temps unless you warm it up first, so always have a very valid backup to these otherwise convenient lighters.
