Good reminder. Thanx.

“What worked.....book matches in a baggie.”

This is what I always use. I’m just starting to finish off my 20,000 cardboard matches I bought 20+ years ago. Keeping them stored in a dry place helps.


“Moral to the story: Apparently kitchen matches have changed (the heads are much smaller now)…”

My young daughter doesn’t like my paper matches. She likes the wood matches. They’re cheap at Walmart (like $1 for 10boxes). However, I’ve also noticed they’re harder to light because the head is dinky.

I like matches because they’re easier to light a stove with than a bic.
