This part is pretty simple really. Taking your trusty drill again, find a bit that's about two times as large as the diameter of the fuse. Drill a hole in (not all the way through!) the base of the mixture in the pumpkin.

Fold the fuse and shove in the newly drilled hole. it SHOULD be a tight fit in the hole. otherwise you'll have to drill another hole. (see second and third picture) You only need to have about 1/5th -1/6th of the fuse folded over, it doesn't need much, just enough to wedge it into the hole.

Why fold the fuse? Fuses send the flame in the opposite way they're burning, so, we need to redirect that flame to burn on the smoke mix. The easiest way to do this is just to turn the fuse upside down and direct it at the mix, which happens to be exactly what the fold does.

Finally, take a cork (wine bottle cork is what I used) and drill a hole for the fuse in it (1/4th again) then wrap it in paper towel until it is a really snug fit. Make it so you have to jam it in there and use a screwdriver to assist the fit. Once it's been pushed a half inch down, leave the paper towel alone and just push down the cork until the fuse is visible and easy to light. Should look like fifth picture if done properly.
