>>642721I just light a stick with my bic and use that to get into the middle of the fire, saves my matches and my fingers that way.
If I'm ever in trouble and need to get a fire going quickly I'll just splash some cooker fuel on it. You still need a properly made fire though, ethanol doesn't burn very hot. It just guarantees ignition first try and gives enough warmth to dry out your tinder and kindling a bit.
