Thank you for the link, Phil.
I looked into the hemp wick and the little glass bottles. Humboldt-Traders seems to be the most recommended hemp wick company. From what I've read the hemp ball in 2mm (the thickest available) seems to be the best for outdoor smoking. The 1mm size is marketed as being the most common for both indoor and out, but I don't see why the 2mm wouldn't serve both purposes equally well.
Here is a link to the official site: https://humboldt-traders.com/product/humboldt-hemp-wick/
Now, I know that there is a plastic shell that fits around a Bic lighter called a "Toker-Poker" that also utilizes the same wick. It isn't nearly as classy, but more practical for carrying around in your pocket. For both that and the bottle you just cut off whatever length you need and put the ball in a cupboard for later. They are both small capacity from the looks of it.
The 250ft wick ball is pretty small in size from what I read on Amazon. I watched a video on youtube of the 1mm width and it seemed to burn pretty quickly. Surely 250 feet would give you an unbelievable amount of pipe bowls though. The hemp wick has beeswax on it and it makes sense that the widest wick size would burn the slowest and have the most wind resistance. In my mind the 2mm at the 250ft length seems to be the best bang for the money.
The wick, bottles, and the Toker-Poker are all available on Amazon or their official sites. Amazon is cheaper for the wicks though by a full dollar are two, but only the 1mm width is available on there. I didn't check on the potential savings for the bottles.

This will definitely be something I pick up when I get some cash.
