A useful product to use in wind or rain are the magnesium bars with strikers. Magnesuim burns at 5000+ degrees and cannot be put with water. Well, technically it can be extinguished by water but fire departments do not feel they have enough water to extinguish magnesium with multiple fire hydrants. They use a special purpose fire extinguisher, Class D. But I digress....

You can get the magnesium bars at the Mart stores for about $5 in the camping section. A dull gray bar about 3 inchs long x 1 inch wide x 1/4 inch. Get a hack saw blade and break it off the same length as the bar. Most bars come with a chain attached. You can connect the hack saw blade via the chain so you don't lose it.
