Brain busters, anyone???

You are walking in the middle of a blizzard. After a half hour, you finally spot a cabin and rush in. Inside, you spot a stove, a lantern, and a fireplace. You reach into your pocket and discover that you only have one match left. What do you light first?

    its simple, first, use a sony battery so it will explode creating a fire to light a match and then the cabin and then you can melt all the snow and find a way out

    you will have to light the match first because without the match lit you wouldnt be able to light anything.
