The Hearth Keepers story
The deep head burns eleven seconds, long enough to get past a damp coal edge or a stove door that opens like a sigh. The splint is a third again thicker than First Strike so it will not fold in a full scuttle. The box is wide on purpose: gloves and cold hands do not slide boxes well.
