Pull apart a cotton ball, put a dab of vaseline in the middle, and squeeze together. When you need to light any wet wood, they work great. The cotton ball catches fire easily, and the vaseline burns for a long time. My all-time favorites are vaseline-soaked cotton balls.

Her's last a lot longer with the wax. I stuff the lint in to the cardboard tubes that toilet paper wraps around and that works pretty good too.
