Thanks Phat! Pretty funny. I was all set to order some more tinder-quik tabs when I thought I too might as well try dryer lint mixed with petroleum jelly. I got the same results using a sparklite and the first spark got it going. In fact, it seemed to light almost as well as the tinder-quik tabs. The petroleum jelly doesn't make it light any easier but does help it burn much longer than without it. I packed a small film cannister with a lint/pj mixture and it weighs about .5 oz on my scale.
