When I first starting flying rockets in the 60s, a hobby store stocked Jetex fuse in the rocketry section of the store. We often used it, especially if we were riding our bikes to a nearby field, and we just pushed a launch rod into the ground instead of trying to carry a pad and launch controller.

I still have a couple of the little round tins and a small piece of the Jetex fuse.
