Well, you've learned two things- you CAN do it, and the only real problem with the sparklite is it is so small. Look at any of these , or go to Campmor, BQ (actiongear.com) or Adventure Medical. Don't pay over $9.50 for it, before shipping. Most places that have the sparklite also have spare tabs.

Rather than buying the big logs, you can get compressed saw dust and wax sticks just about anywhere you can buy matches. Same thing, just smaller so it is more portable. If you need to carry kindling, then you have to, there is no shame in admitting that you can do something even with a few aids becuase you are still mastering it, and you might have a leg up on us hairy types who are planning on carrying tinder but finding small kindling.

Or you can make your own with some clean sawdust (preferably softwood, ask any wood working shop and they'll give you all you can take) mixed 50/50 by volume with melted wax. Mold it into the shape you want, let it cool for a few hours, and cut it with a sharp knife or wire cheese cutter you don't care about. If you want to get real fancy, the tubs from votive candles would work.
