Super Match Demo and Test Burn

How do you make UCO Titan Matches burn for over ten minutes? Make a Super Match. The Super Match is a waterproof, stormproof ignition source, tinder, and wax inhibitor/extender to make it burn slow so that it has time to dry and then ignite even the most damp tinder. This will certainly get a fire going in the worst of conditions. Overall burn time was over ten minutes.

One of the best videos I've seen on firestrarting tools

[@JEFLeb35712]

That is impressive as the demo after you showed the build of that road flare. I decided to create one or two and will test some variation of 2 or 3 of those large matches together. Again thanks. Glad I subscribed.

[@chrisgrisham7566]

Definitely a recommend emergency fire source. Most impressive for sure! Awesome work on this one..

[@etnrutledge8461]

I’m going to try this with regular matches. Or maybe the long reach ones cut down some. Good idea and maybe something you could market.

[@Woodsman_wildcamper]

I tried it with normal matches, if its windy (like on the day I tested mine) it's just blows out and you're left with a lump of wax. I'm re-doing it tomorrow with the storm proof matches instead 👍🙂

[@scottcarter4059]

I made one using leftover candle wax it burned extremely hot for 13 minutes. Can't start start a fire with this you are screwed. Great fire starter!!!!

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Awesome, glad you tried it and appreciate the feedback on it

[@scottcarter4059]

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret thought about wrapping the matches individually with the cotton and see how that works!

[@tearstoneactual9773]

Jesus, if you can't start a fire with that... *you can't start a fire.*

[@kidbach]

awesome product made more awesomer.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Thanks, yeah these are pretty awesome. I have made them with every size UCO Match depending on the size of the kit I am putting it in and they all burn for a really long time. Just turns into a candle after the initial flare-up.

[@KungFuTweety1]

The only thing that would make it better is to make it a strike anywhere match!

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

That would make it nice, unfortunately the old strike-anywhere matches have mostly been replaced for safety reasons from what I am gathering from my research looking for them. If you find a real strike-anywhere match as big as the UCO Titan Matches I used for this, let me know.

[@NicholasCollie]

this is called the Survival Blow Torch

[@luiscontreras5206]

I use this to start and keep my wood 🪵 on fire

[@capefearcapt4679]

Will these melt in normal summer heat?

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

No. Not unless you live somewhere that is melting candles. Paraffin melts between 115 and 154 degrees F.

[@capefearcapt4679]

Thank you sir.

[@azure6392]

May depend on what you call normal. Texas most definitely.
