ok thank you. I have a ferro rod my dad gave me. Only ever seen it used with vaseline and cotton balls. I'll try practicing with the stove.

I only use a ferro for starting my stoves. Practice at home its a learned skill like any others they are worth having a backup to

Fire steels work perfectly in cold weather for stoves.

That said, keep your BIC in your....ummmm.....underwear for 5 minutes before you need it and you are good to go...

Instead of strike anywhere matches, why not throw a few of these in your pack? They would probably light in a storm on Mt. Washington.....they burn underwater, though I've yet to find a need for that...lolol...they give off a nasty odor though, so don't get a lung full when using them...

I found a shelf full in a real hardware store in West Jefferson, NC. I bought 2 boxes for $2.75. They are the Greenlight new and improved wannabe matches. I'll test them when I get back to Texas.
Thanks for all of your help.

I use butane lighters in the winter. Just warm the lighter up in your pocket before trying to use it. I usually tuck mine under my watch band when I'm starting to get set up to cook.
