It’s easy to make a candle from things you have around the house. The wick can be pieces of cotton denim instead of jute for example. Any oil or fat will work, petroleum, animal, or vegetable. I prefer olive oil as it burns clean. This lamp is dangerous and a potential fire/health hazard. Only use outdoors away from flammable objects. Be aware the reservoir gets extremely hot. Keep children and pets away. Tipping it could result in a flash fire. Keep reservoir filled, as more wick material gets exposed air, the flame will get larger. But do not overfill. Lamps made in this way are intended for a temporary source of light. The time they will burn depend on many factors, including fuel and wick material used. I did not perform any time tests. #fire #survival #camping #bushcraft #outdoors
