You need to build a 'nest' for the hot cone of fibres. Anything dry and easily flammable really, and you have to breathe for the fire. Long, even breaths forcing air into the cone to keep it alive. There are materials that catch quickly and those that sustain a flame, you really need both.
Stuart gave a very clear description of tinder and kindling. Use the Search function and type in Tinder Lists, Celtic Dragon started the thread I'm thinking of, Stuart's reply is on the second page, # 17, but the whole thread is interesting.
Good luck,
Toddy
