Pretty nice thing. It costs nothing and use mostly what you already have at home. This point of view is an essential part of my preps.
They are also an integral part of my dead boxes, they can be used for both cooking and lighting.
If I'm not carrying a gas stove with me, I'm using this little gadget.
These things can always be carried, like in a car where I don't want to carry a gas cartridge in the summer.
Things needed:
Can, wax, cardboard.
Simply melt the wax and pour into cans with rolled cardboard. The little red in the middle is a waxed match, it may or may not be, but it will make the ignition much easier.
Depending on the size of the can, the burning time is around 4 to 10 hours
They can be extinguished and reused, just suffocate the flame and let it cool down for a while.
A minor downside is that it will blacken your dishes, but it's not much worse than an open fire.
As for cans, you can use practically any can you got, just avoid those that are rubberized inside, those stink a lot more at first.
