big_al, Here was a brief article I had found, I've been trying what your probably doing and having no luck either. I had tried to light a fuz stick with the flint steel rod and only got a small amber to light but could not get it to continue in the nest. I had used a ton of sparks before that had happened and haven't been successfully in duplicating it again. If you figure it out, please let me know. Thanks
