Matt,For your information..They no longer used chains they now use heavy duty metal strapping..
I have used scale 2"x4" balsa wood cut to fit.
I have also cut the heads from matchbox matches and used the wood for spacers.
For fire safety I place the heads in a small jar( I used a old baby food jar) and when it was full I tossed the jar in the trash.
If the matches are of the strike anywhere type you are basically throwing a fire bomb into the garbage. :o The jar could be crushed in a garbage truck or at the land fill, starting a very dangerous and costly fire.
