I just have PJCBs in mine. It takes only a little bit to start a fire, and the PJ actually burns for a while making things relatively easy. This is all I used on my last camping trip (4 days) and I didn't even use a full cotton ball. One thing I did do is pull the cotton balls apart and make sure they were saturated with jelly before putting it into the tube. I was able to fit between 3 and four cotton balls in there and they have the added benefit of helping with chapped lips if without lip balm. For the cost, they are hard to beat! Lates, Connor
