That was precisely the impetus -- a rather ignorant comment from someone whose experience with fireplaces probably extends only to those posh electric things with "flame effect".
I, too, have never had to take two goes to get the fire started, and I hate the smell of commercial firestarters. They don't save any time if you know what you're doing, and I swear they flavour the food. Could be just my imagination, of course.
I am absolutely open to alternative phrasing for the 'touch' line -- I just haven't figured anything out yet but I agree that it's cumbersome.
Many thanks.

It could be worse
