I practiced with the inferno today using your method and couldn’t start a twig fire worth a damn. Tried for over an hour...did everything I could think of including using paper towels and shaving the twigs so they had little curlicues all over. So frustrating. I’ve never had good fire skills but come on! It was warmish and dry, no reason that it shouldn’t have been a rip roaring fire. Ugh. I probably wasted a lot of money on that Inferno.
got a flame only one time (per photo)...the rest of the time the twigs smoldered and created ash but never caught fire.
