Another vote for the Home Bargains ones, they changed the packet recently but they're the same lighters.

 

The packet is supposed to break down in to 24 individual lighters but in reality you can go smaller again with them if you've good dry kindling as well.

 

They're so teeny I really can't imagine them doing any harm no matter what the composition.

 

The cooker with multi-fuel grate lights with a few bits of cardboard, one advantage of having a grate I suppose.

I keep toilet roll middles . Fold and push 2 inside the first , and if you have it , put the wax from a baby bell cheese in the middle .

Cheapest ones off eBay, buy them in bulk for a years supply.

It says 14 in a packet but I get 28 fires out of them.

Missus compensates this by using half a packet at a time and still doesn't always go at first attempt (and this is lighting bone dry leylandii kindling!!!)
