Been there, done that and have the tee shirt to account for my failures. A Bic lighter and petroleum jelly soaked cotton swabs were barely enough to get my stove to light when conditions less than idea (read: wet wood and damp conditions in my SO 8-man tipi and large Ti stove). To be fair, I was still warm and comfortable after burning more wood than I should have. Just saying that your combo won't be the do-all-save-all you might think it will be in tough conditions.
