Phil, I can check with the foods group to see if anyone has attended these meetings, I know that Clorox is a member of the association.
The big foods meeting that people tend to attend here is the IFT.

Going back to the days when I would make my own fireworks, a good way of making a fuse is to soak string in sodium or ammonium nitrate. It would be possible to make firestarters out of string or nonwoven sheets that would have no VOC issues and could be placed in the middle of a charcoal pile. A nonwoven execution is particularly attractive since it would be possible to wrap charcoal up in it and then place in the middle of the remaining pile of charcoal for really good contact.
Internationally, there are many executions of the wax / sawdust sticks and perhaps a more optimal shape, would make these more functional. For example, versions that are more flat (like a sheet) would have higher surface area and potentially better contact with the charcoal.
