Thank you, Reddog1, for your warm post :). I'd welcome you at my campfire, anytime!
It sounds like you found a great third way, for your kids.
It takes the naughtiness and mystery out of things, too, which is useful when stuff is dangerous. I know when we were kids we played with matches a few times, but really just BECAUSE it was forbidden. Lit a few matches, burned a few things, but it was not that interesting in itself, so we didn't do much.
My little sister was wiser -- she asked our dad to show her how to start a fire in the woodstove and outside. She became proficient at that stuff years before the rest of us. Younger kids are often smarter, socially :).
