Yeah,I've got some off cuts of s/s flue liner and I was looking at using some of that..

..and after SausageKnocker's recommendation(..what's the chance of me ever typing those words again?!..hope no one checks my hard drive now! ),I think I'll make something..

layr of charcoal , some cotton wool with a bit of petroleum jelly on it, fire steel on/over that and thn just build up a pyramid of charcoal over the burning tinder. same for lighting a fire but substitute dry wood for charcoal. if it starts to look like its going out blow on it or waft a book over it get the oxygum onto it. you remember the fire triangle don't you heat fuel oxygum . need all 3 to get a fire  . lighting em on dive trips is easy as we use the the 100% 02 .
