Wood sticks candle made using aluminum foil - the burn


Easy to make wood gas candle made by folding aluminum foil. No tools or cutting cans needed. 30 minutes of fire with from just one handful of wood sticks. Very easy to light. No smoke. Wind resistant. Burns unattended. Useful for survival, bushcraft, ultralight hikers, and education. Total weight 23g. Can be unfolded for storage. Packs easily in a backpack or your bug out kit. HOW DOES IT WORK? The match lights the alcohol which lights the tinder which lights the tip of the sticks. The sticks smolder but do not catch fire because there is not enough oxygen. The smoke rises and mixes with the fresh air flowing from between the two tubes and is set on fire by the existing flame. The flame rises and draws up more smoke from the smoldering sticks and causes fresh air to enter through the small holes. The fresh air feeds the smoldering sticks and allows it to burn slowly from top to bottom. They cannot burn quickly because they are tightly packed and there is not enough heat or air for the whole bundle to start smoldering all at once. When the smoldering layer reaches the bottom all the wood have turned to charcoal and the flame dies down. Now you have a whole bunch of charcoal which you can use as plant fertilizer or save them for a barbecue.
