@n8zcx Thanks! I went back and tried this same candle with two wicks. With the pot about 2" from the candle base it boiled water in about 13 minutes. But, there is a lot of soot. Not something I would do everyday, but in a pinch I think it would be a good option. All materials can be gathered in the wild to make the candle.
Great video! very through research
@ishamallot You're welcome! That may work, I don't know. It may help to contain the heat better.
@TheTribeOfBenjamin You're welcome Ben, thanks again for watching. I wasn't gonna upload it, but I like showing the fails along with the successes. I don't consider this one a complete fail, but I was hoping for better results.
@JBSurvive2Live You're welcome JB. I want to make some soap myself and might just go the butcher and get some beef tallow just to try it. The birds here love the tallow especially in winter.
Roosevelt, I have the tallow from a couple deer we got from deer season.It is out in the garage waiting to make some candles & also render then mix with lye(wood-ash) to make soap. Your video is a great reminder for me to get to work! So far the only thing I have been doing with little pieces of tallow it is feeding it to the birds as suet. lol
Thanks for sharing the video!

Nice experiment! thanks for showing

@Prepare2Survive Try rubbing a bit of damp soap, or some liquid soap on container, then let it dry on the container before putting on the fire. The soap should help remove the soot when you clean container, since it is a coating. BTW another soap tip ..Damp soap rubbed around your legs where the tops of your socks reach will help to keep them from sliding down when ya walk.
Just wanted to share.
😉
Enjoy the outdoors!
@JoeandZachSurvival I'm thinking multiple wicks is the way to go. It would pasteurize water as is, but it would take longer.
@robertmccallum1 you're welcome Robert.
@BoIwar Thanks, I love that little pot.
@Prepare2Survive Anything is worth a try and I usually carry a small fold of tinfoil in my daypak. But, I'm thinking it would be too much effort for the long haul. I'm gonna drop another wick in this bad boy and see how that goes. The time it spent on the flame is what caused most of the soot. I should be able to get it to boil in under 10 with a lid. Thanks for the ideas.
I adore your setup with the "stove" and the pot 🙂
Thank you for putting up this vid.

@MiWilderness
Well maybe there's an easier way to keep the bottom clean other than scraping it off with a spatula every few minutes. Maybe covering the bottom with tin foil or something and swapping it out with a cleaner piece every few minutes would work. That way each time you remove one piece and put on the other one it gives you time to go over to the trash can to wipe off the soot.
@BornRandy62 That's quite possible. I have a stainless glass that fits inside my hobo stove perfectly and it will boil 24 oz. of water in under 5 minutes. I think the reason is that it's surrounded by flame and there's nearly zero heat loss.
@BornRandy62 That sounds cool.
@MrJoeyBoombotz I bet you're right. I may add another wick and give it a try. This candle lasts a long time. I've burned it well over 2 hours now, likely 4 or 5 hours and it only went down a 1/4" or so. thanks for the tip on the bubbles.
@MrJoeyBoombotz Thanks!
@Prepare2Survive It does on my maple sap evaporator. And, there was a huge gob/ drip of soot on the bottom of this pot when finished. I don't like the soot as it's quite messy, even more so than a regular fire.
@stuzapusa Thanks!
I've tried something similar to this before with a tampon wick and veggie oil. I think the gob of soot on the bottom insulates the pot from the heat. Maybe if you scraped the soot off every few minutes it would get hot enough to boil.
Tallow cotton balls might work better if you use 2 or 3.
Having 2 or 3 wicks increases the temperature of the candle tremendously. Small bubbles indicate 160 degress. Lots of small bubbles indicates 180 degress which is the perfect temp for steeping tea. The candle you used could have used 2 wicks. 3 wicks are for much bigger candles.
I have a Kelly Kettle. The chimney runs up thru the middle. I have no doubts that your candle would boil water with that.
I built a fire this afternoon and put a 40 ounce stainless bottle on a grate over the top of it. There was about 4 inches space between coals and grate. I had to add more wood to get flames and still never achieved a full boil. I am thinking that too much heat was lost thru the sidewalls in 45 degree air.
