My go to fire starter - individual pre packaged Zip fire starter. You light the plastic covering the Zip - only one cube is enough if you’re wood is sorta dry.
I have the u-turn, and it rips! If I close the damper at all, though, it smokes me out of my Cimarron. Also, the Snow Peak torch will light a fire in no time. It's also a great way to finish off fuel canisters.
The biggest take away on this- make sure you have learned how to manage these wood stoves before you need to rely on it in the backcountry!!!
Always know your gear before you go out!

Happy to hear the U turn is working well for you!
Is this the guardian?
Looks like the Twilight.
It is the twilight!
