: . . . I'm hoping to find something locally
: and not too exotic.
Charcoal. Either buy a bag, beg a spare briquette from a friend, or partially burn a stick. Put your charcoal in a dish and grind it with a broomstick if you don't have a mortar and pestle. it crshes very easily into extremely fine particles. The more time you work it the finer it gets-- but you only need a teaspoon full and getting that should be less than a minute. You can filter it through a piece of loosely woven fabric (cheesecloth) to eliminate any big chunks if you feel you have to.
If you can find a match and a stick (hopefully that is not too exotic, or foreign) you're in business.
Hope this helps
