Lighting solid fuel

[Baldy]

any tips?

Break a crumb off one corner and light that. Then sit the rest of the block next to it.

I carry a small dropper bottle of alcohol fuel. Few drops into the tablet sets it off.
20 ml lasts me a fortnight.
5ml ample for a few days.

A jet lighter is well appreciated with solid fuel.

A little blob of hand sanitizer makes a good lighting aid too.

I do this too as @Mole kindly gave me a small dropper. Works a treat.

Not at altitude

I don’t think that’s going to bother me

My chances of being at an altitude that a torjet won't work at aren't great for 12 months and then I'll be using gas anyway.

Rechargeable arc lighter works well
