for a much more enjoyable shooting session, carry a bunch of alcohol swabs with you. (not pc but who cares). i swab my pan and flint, and frizzen every other shot, and sometimes when the humidity is up, every shot. cleans and dries quickly. and if you have a jag with you , one can swab the fouling with them.
some of my flinters require swabbing after each shot. others don't. some require the vent to be picked every shot others don't.
have one that requires the vent pick be full depth of the bore when the charge is dumped in.
flintlocks are like women. no two like.
