I asked Avan about different struts but no joy....

Just a simple and cheap fire lighter if you are in need of them. Home brand cotton balls about $2 for 200, home brand petroleum jelly for a couple of dollars also, which will last forever. Smear some petroleum jelly on the cotton ball, the more you put on the longer it will burn and just use as a fire starter...
