    Might be an idea to release your grip on the firelighter while it is burning.:)

    do use them ocasionally, but they are usually in a buit up fire before lighting it, ie, some scunched up paper, one or two firelighters, sticks, then brickets/coal on top, light the paper, firelighters then catch fire, and sit back

    ;)

    hope the fingers get better
