Powdered matches makes a good LE, but they have to be powdered finely. First take a knife or a razor and scrape all the powder of the matches once you are done with that. Gather all the powder and put it in a zip lock bag and take a rolling pin out and start rolling it. Roll it for about 20 minutes. By then you should have a finely powdered material, though there will be some wood or paper particles it is still pretty good. Make sure you do not use strike anywhere matches, unless missing body parts is cool. Make sure you use this powder in a thick paper container. If you are using kitchen matches then all you need to do is crush the match head with needle nose pliers. This stuff burns a little slower than black powder, but hey if your desperate.
