    Matches are a good start VC, but you'd be better off using them to start a bonfire to heat the pipe. You could have baked 'tatos and hot marshmallows for lunch while you're waiting for the pipe to heat up.
    I use a long skewer and a cook's blow torch or the gas flame on the stove.

      When I noticed that 3 trugs were lined up in front of the fire that I thought I should do something. One with sticks, one with logs and the other with aired washing. There was no room for me and the dogs
      I have the same problem, a nice little trug that one of the students was a bit rough with so was swapped with one of my own....i use it in the greenhouse for 'organic waste' - the beauty being that because i know that the handles are broken, i don't fill it up as much as I would usually and instead of throwing things in it [as it's so hard to carry] I am inclined to put compostable stuff at the bottom of the next plant pot and let it compost there rather than bin it and carry it to the garden for composting itself.

      If I wasn't using it for that I'd cut new holes myself. In fact I might do that anyway.

          What do you call it snadger?, I could call it the recycling centre if you'd prefer, ours recycles plastics.

          Personally I call it the tip, and its in a beautiful location overlooking the sea!!.

                  Advance weather warning! There is another belt of rain moving in from the west, just started, so I'm going to cut eye holes in the trug and put it on my head.
