I guess I haven't wadded enough into a large enough lump, as I find they flash-burn so fast that they're useless.

That's them. I grew up with them on fences all around my area. They grow pretty fast. It takes a lot of pods (I think I used 6 or more), and i used an old shoelace to bind in a wick-type shape. I learned the hard way to light a pile of cedar and old gas from a ways away. My beard grew back fine. That is what led to building a torch, I can not attest to its length of burn, but I had a good five seconds before the toss.
