Since he was looking for the insert part, I was talking about a regular brick and mortar store.

I've noticed that some British fireworks sellers offer portfires, but this doesn't impress me as being a very cost effective method of igniting artillery.

Here's an article from 'The Artilleryman' magazine' (fall 2004) in which the author gives his formula for making portfires.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won. He died instantly.
The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.
