I've been making & using these candles for a cpl yrs now and I really enjoy them! You can add essential oils too🤗. Make sure ya use a lid, especially in the summer lol... This kept our tent warm during a winter camping trip in the snow, I was pretty amazed! I put my tealights in old bread/ round cake pans, then put it all in an XL cooking pot for extra safety. We didn't have to use the gas heater at all and we're quite cozy... It be a good add to your cars emergency kit this time of year too!🕯

They didnt give you more shortening, you are comparing ounces (weight) with ounces (volume). If it was water, with a specific gravity of 1.0 they work out the same, but shortening has a specific gravity of about .75, so you get more volume per weight

How about letting them air cool and just freeze the candles? A frozen candle would solidify the veg oil around it wouldn't it? It would take the guess work out of refrigerator cooling.

Thanks. Adding essential oil is a great idea. But just fyi the vegetable shortening candles I made didn’t have any scent at all.

Make sure that you do not pack your wick tight if you are using a forever wick. Too tight and it will burn the tip of the wick and only burn for a few hours.

I am setting this system up as I write...My concern/question is this...Won't the shortening melt again inside the clay pot, allowing the candle to fall to one side?

@don_wynn 5 ай бұрын

It won’t fall just because 1 candle won’t be enough to melt the jar…maybe if a thicker wick was placed in there 😃

I need a heater for exactly this reason! To heat my small greenhouse. Its 10x20x7.5 (just a plastic on off amazon). Does this actually work to keep the green house warm? I have a space heater in there right now but my husband says I cant keep it connected to an extention cord for too long. Does it work? How many do you need in your green house? I want to protect my plants! There are some that cant be replaced!❤❤❤

@onemrporter 4 ай бұрын

Why do you have to cut the candle? Won’t it just burn down to the shortening? Plus add more burn time to the entire process.

@oldguysrock2170 5 ай бұрын

Stacking several more flat clay bottoms on top of the pot will conduct more heat.

I don’t think it would give off fumes as it’s cooking oil. The better question might be if it uses your oxygen…you may need to crack the door.

When the power goes out how can you melt the lard?;

@diamonddavemusic 6 ай бұрын

It's best to make the candles before a power outage and store them in a cool location, or in the refrigerator, to keep the shortening from melting. Then you have them available and ready for use during an emergency. But if you are wondering how to melt the shortening during a power outage, you could place the glass measuring cup with hardened shortening on top of the warm terracota heater and allow the heat from a burning candle to melt it. This might take some time, but eventually you could make candles during a power outage if necessary.
