What size ferro rod is best?
If you cannot find a supported ferro rod, the ideal length is about three inches not including the handle. This is short enough that it is not prone to breaking and long enough that you can comfortably use it without worrying about bumping your hand.
Is there a difference in ferro rods?
NOT ALL FERRO RODS ARE CREATED EQUAL. Based on how much magnesium is used in them, you will get a different spark and the duration of that spark. High magnesium content means that your rod will be softer, making it more difficult to produce an instant flame, however, the sparks you get will last longer and be hotter.
