Stick a birthday candle inside the butter, oil, crisco or whatever you’re using. Much easier.
Also you can pick up a cotton mop head from the dollar store to use for wicks.
Great idea about the mop
I agree...but dont burn a food source!
@@veritasjustus8543 I agree. Only if no other option.
Actually that's one of the best ideas is the Cotton mop it's already twisted and wound and that's what I use in my olive oil lamps and lighters excuse me and four lighters when I don't have a lighter to go to simply cut piece of the mop stick it in a half can feel the half can with olive oil boom light source lamp heat whatever
You have to treat the cotton by first soaking it in borax and drying it so it doesn't burn too easily.
When I lived in The Philippines for eight years, I saw how tough life was for the people there. They did the same thing there but with baby food jars. They would use Used oil used to cook their food (except for oil used to fry fish) for their oil lamps. They either used a rolled up piece of aluminum foil or the handle of an Acid Brush, cut it in half and could pull the wick through that and that would sit secure in the hole in the lid. I’d look up on the hills and see so many of these lamps it looked like a starry night. I learned a lot from these people about surviving tough times and never giving up.
They have regular rolling brown outs.
How did the Philippines become poor ?
@@goosecouple The MacArthurs? Followed by Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos? Later by Duterte?
I live in the Philippines my one grandma uses the jar candles
I spent a month in the Philippines. The nicest people I have ever met.
Folks, just a heads up to maintain heat in your home:
Cover your window with a shower curtain liner and painters tape. Economical way for those on a fixed income and a lot cheaper than commercial grade plastic.
What to keep heat out?
You’ve obviously never experienced an ice storm.
@@lauriedye6727 Ditto'
Most constructions sites have "house wrap" plastic(Tyvek) that they throw away, sometimes already that cut out for their windows.
@@billewilde1 But that blocks out daylight which you need for light and heat. clear plastic sheeting or layers of bubble wrap over windows insulate and allow light to come in.
You can take a box, cut off a piece with one “bend”, so it makes a “V”, cover with aluminum foil, and place it standing nearest to your homemade candle to reflect the light, (thus making the light from candle stronger).
A reflector 😁
Or put it behind a clear glass jar of water.
Wow, great.
Great tip! Maybe a mirror also?
Great idea thanks
One thing to tell people is, if they’re going to be burning their candles in any type of enclosed area to make sure you’ve got adequate ventilation. Also, which may go hand in hand is to make sure your wick(s) aren’t too long, as too long of a wick tends to smoke, whether it be a wax candle or any other type of candle such as your oil or even your butter candle. I lived in the Philippines and learned how to make candles using a small baby food jar, with a hole in the lid just big enough for an all cotton wick and coconut oil. They would thread the wick up through a rolled up piece of thin aluminum and make it extend about an inch above the cap, keeping the jar cool to the touch. It’s actually pretty bright and lasts for hours. They would also glue the jar in the middle of a small square of wood about 5-8” square to make it harder to fall or knock over. Hope this helps someone somewhere.
Yea
That Crisco ones gonna need a deep dish under it !( she will have a MEGA mess if not
So, could we use a paper or stripped plastic twist tie?
@@mgd6087 yes toilet paper works great
Be v careful as from lighting lots of candles in a small room it may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning so if u feel dizzy/ headaches then it's time to get air and open the windows
For the crisco jar candle, it works better if you melt the shortening and simply pour it into the jar. Upon cooling, you will have a perfect jar with no air gaps.
if she actually compressed it down properly there would not have been air gaps hope she dont make them like that in a real emergency
kind of hard to do this if your power is already out. but it makes sense to do something like this before hand of said power outage.
@@user-tp5yb4hr4w Sorry, perhaps I should have been more specific and stated that my method is one for preparing ahead of time.
@TKOR If you cut off the bottom end of a too long candle, you won't have to worry about cutting through the wick. ❤
Wicks are for climbing, ropes are for burning!
I've been saving old vegetable oil , (a little
rancid) but one can put a few drops of essential oil to scent the oil but will be worth saving for heating
And light .. save your bacon grease too! ,I keep a large jar in the fridge, best
For non stick cooking and
Flavoring for potatoes , fried rice , beans ,biscuits..
Eggs ..hope this helps !
Peace and love to all !!
I haven't been able to afford bacon for a while now. ☹️
I would’ve just left the crisco in the can, put a wick in it and called it a day.
if you double boil the can till the grease melts you can put in up to 6 wicks, then let it cool and harden.
True😁
Also you can cut the bottom off of the candle when you size it. That way you don't have to worry about cutting the wick...
Agreed but cardboard burns.
@@nicholashodges201 I thought the same thing.
TKOR 2015: Make your own Metal Foundry
TKOR 2019: Giant LARD Candle
TKOR 2013: LARD Soap
@@firefish111 Sounds counter-productive.
@@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639 lard is a very common base used in soap making.
I meaaaaan it was vegetable oil though, not lard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ;p
@@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639 look into homemade soap
Tip: Make whatever type of candles, heaters, whatever you want BEFORE you need it.
Exactly
Instead of ruining a dish towel, I use jute twine. Works fine!
Does that really work?
I'm looking for a reasonable source of wicks for my Cisco candles... got all my jars & Cisco now just need some cheap wicks!
Or buy a cotton mop head
Butter is way too valuable to use as a candle.
Not in a survival situation
@@talldave1000 There's hard pros & cons to it.
If you have enough water to digest it, the calories could very well be much more valuable.
@@TheAttacker732 - GREAT point.
Ya it works better to lube up fat broads.....or so I hear 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mattburns7182 I'm down to run butter on any size woman.
OK, I'm very happy your "Chisel" didn't explode when being hammered. For that is a File, not a Chisel. Files are brittle. DO NOT HAMMER A FILE!
sarge27271 I was thinking the same thing..
They don't explode, I'm a blacksmith and I do it all the time
@@DrengrMike Lucky you. Mine did.
sarge27271 you get me
Michael Keenan could it perhaps be because they’ve just been in a forge? or maybe they’ve been annealed?
I heard when making candles it really matters the diameter of the candle vs the amount or thickness of wick. If the diameter is big, you'll flood the wick. That's why some candles have more than one wick.
in the 70's they used to sell floating candle kits that had 2" clear plastic discs with some small holes around it & a 1/2" wick pushed into the center.
the disc was placed into a 3" container of different colored translucent glass, you filled the glass container 2/3 water & 1/3 cooking oil then placed the disc with the wick into the container so it floated on the oil to feed the floating candle.
I had one of those!😀
I still have some.
Straight vegetable oil and strands from your mop. use a close hanger made in a shape to hold them. It lasts hours for a cup.
How would you use the hanger?
Gotta be brand new one's tho, old one's probably wouldn't burn very well.
😮😮😮
@@AbbaJoy1 exactly, mine are metal with plastic coating.
"What kind of emergency are you expecting?"
2020 clearly
Power outage. Car meets pole in front of house. Doh!!
2021
bRuH
Emp, hurricane tornado. flood
2021: 2020 ain't got nothing on me.
Jute twine or cotton kite string works great also. You can braid the string if you need a larger size wick.
I have a feeling you could use the vegetable oil in place of kerosene in a wick style lamp, but I have found over the years that fuel can only be wicked up so far and a tall reservoir, such as a tall mason jar can actually go out with a lot of oil left in it simply because the wick can't lift it high enough. You should probably do a full burn test on your oil filled candle before calling it done and giving it an hour rating. If there is a problem then consider going with a shorter jar, even if it has to be refilled every few hours.
We have tried lots of ways of doing this. ( including all of these) Seems soybean oil works best. In one of the Aladdin lamps (they seem to be more efficient) we have one tablespoon that last for four hours.
Wow Thanks for that tip
Exactly! Great tip. Thanks!
Thanks. . Surprised though. Never would have thought soybean oil
What is an Aladdin lamp?
@@mycharmedunicorn8715 make a wish. It'll come true 😄
Just kiddin'
10:03 "we used a chisel"... I'm not too sure that's a chisel... looks like a file to me
They used the file as a chisel, so technically they chiseled it
@@demetriusthompson2362 that was the action, not the tool used. It's still a file
beat me to it
She got lucky it didn't shatter
Not gonna lie I cringed a little rip file lol
For the Crisco candles 🕯 I recommend melting in the microwave a few seconds at a time until fully melted so you can pour it nice and neat.
No electricity 😒
@@txjellybean3772 try preparing in advance?
The only disadvantage of melting is then the Cisco will go rancid faster...
could keep some toast while reading and when the melted butter almost puts the candle out you can dip the toast in the butter 🤣
Video idea: How strong is a rope made from VHS videotape like on the movie Castaway.
Dave Reevs great idea! Deserves more
Likes!
Just pick a bad movie lmao
Also cast away is my all time favorite movie
Yes. Just yes.
gunnar mccallister LMAO 😂😂😂
Half an hour later I watched the video the power went out so.... Thanks for the ideas the oil + salt + cotton combo worked well
Greetings from Hungary!
Thanks for these candle suggestions as my daughter has an severe allergy to wax. Salt n oil that'll most likely be go to as we're not salt eaters and stopped frying foods, it'll always be available. Lol thought Crisco would be messy. Thanks for extra info in comments about Philippines candles and lanterns.
For emergency, a flash light with a lot of extra batteries would be safer to use. With candles, you need a sturdy candle holder, but it's best to stick the holder inside a deep cooking fan. Never leave the house when you lit the candle.
Except you can't heat/cook over a flashlight.
Tin/aluminum cans or cookie/popcorn containers will not break.
Lids keep candles contained.
And, when no batteries/batteries die???
Repair things with noodles and see how they hold up😄😄😄
Omg I saw that video where they repaired a sink with ramen
Raph done that hehe x
Noodles in the screw holes harden into a stable base that can hold the screw into the wood.
No
This is an 100% cotton commercial
Thankfully I spend my entire Christmas bonus on Bath & Bodyworks candles every year😂 I’m a candle hoarder. But this is really neat!😍👏🏻
Using the mason jar, two lids. One has the wick and is placed on the glass jar first. The second lid remains intact and covers the wick. Screw the band down tightly and it can be transported in camping bags. To use, remove that top lid thus exposing the wick lid. Adjust wick height and light it up!
Love the oil lamp, canning jar idea!💕
Orange candle, one hollow orange half with the inner stalk intact, fill with olive oil, getting some on the stalk then and light.
I Gotta try that!
I have actually done this one before. But I used grapefruit half. It does work & it will work with regular vegetable oil too.
@@louisewhittingtin2031 That will work too.
Nice video. I love your gigantic Crisco candle! For wicks, I use 1/4 inch strips of paper from the shredder. Twist 3 strands together and stick it into your wax or makeshift candle. No need for a toothpick or wire and the flame is nice and bright.
Calli: I made a 1000 hour emergency candle!🕯
Nate: What kind of emergency are you expecting??
Me: How about a year-long global pandemic? 🌏🦠🧫🧼😷
A year
That's optimistic 😢
@@no_peace Lol, touché.
Well if your texas you prepare for right now
@@judasromo9407 i was looking for the texas comment lmao
Or February 2021 winter in Texas.
One can make a solution of borax, salt and water to soak cotton string, rope, gym shoe laces or twisted rags in to make slow burning candle wicks. I made some years ago using broken gym shoe laces for oil candles made from metal topped jelly jars, using real cheap vegetable oil that was sold by the gallon.
I love the oil candle! 😍
It's perfect because oil is in everyone's pantry, whereas loads of salt, Crisco and butter are better used for other things (also, Crisco isn't readily available in Australia)(butter is food, not fuel)(use the salt for curing and preserving meat, not candlemaking)
I need to see how long the crisco candle lasted!! Also did the 100 hour candle actually last 100 hrs??? So many questions with no answers!!!
Yes!!!
I would like to know how long the giant candle burned for.
@@Checkm69
Right.
Yes
What i learned from this is to... buy candles or make a propper one from wax.:))
I open up the Crisco and put the candle in it that way it stays contained! Thanks for the other tips!! ~Sidney
Crisco???
Thoae containers are just flimsy cardboard. I wouldn't advise that.
Chapstick (twisted up) and cotton shirt stuffed in the hole. Learned that in winter survival
"We're gonna use a chisel and hammer.." ..proceeds to drive a fine file, blunt end first, with finishing hammer
"Using items you should be able to find in your home." Yeah ive got actual candles in my closet 😂😂
What???? you mean you don't???..I buy a couple of packages of tea lights every year..... will actually buy candles in yard sales.. and re-make "votive" candles from the drippings.......No candles aren't considered fashionable.. but you can boil water with them when the power goes out.. and if you can boil.. you can cook..Let me know how that raw steak tastes...
I get the small emergency candles and when we lose power (sometimes for days at a time) they last more than three times longer stuffed in Crisco than they do by themselves. One winter we used them and clay flower pots as heat when my kerosene heater ran out and there wasn't any around to buy. I never would have thought that I'd need to do that some day.
@@kevinrehberg8758 then burn those
@@kevinrehberg8758 Simple rocket stove made from cinder blocks works better for cooking. A block may crack now and then but how long do you expect to be without power?
Yeah? Guess you’ve never been in Florida with a hurricane coming, you used up all your candles in the last hurricane and absolutely everything you need for survival sold out in less than a day...
This was fun and informative. Definitely could help in a pinch and that was the whole point. I have a large collection of oil lamps and this gave me the idea to take one and see if cooking oil will work in it as lamp oil has become so expensive. Thanx for the lesson.
Did it work?
it won't work with a kerosene wick. it's too thick for the oil to travel up and the distance of the wick in an oil lamp at the top is too far from the oil. You will only have a ruined wick if you try this.
Crisco was originally made to burn as a candle. My grandmother lived thru the depression, You can put a wik right in the can, just a cotton rope. Quick easy, long lasting
I enjoyed watching your candle making video and was surprised to learn that salt and vegetable oil does the job.
FYI:
A chisel is usually beveled on one side for removing wood and could take the shape of a wood chisel used to install door butts or door hinges or a wood plane that shaves wood into thin curls by reducing the thickness of the board. Another type of chisel that is beveled on both sides is called a cold chisel and it is used primarily for rock and masonry. The triangular thing with the pointy end being hammered against is actually a triangular file and the pointy end is called the tang which can be fitted with either a wood or a plastic handle to prevent the tang from injuring your hand. Files like chisels and planes are used for material substrate removal and to provide a desired shaped surface.
Files are heat treated in a very specific manner, and can be very brittle. They shouldn't be hammered on. They may shatter sending out shrapnel. It probably won't damage your skin, but you wouldn't want that in your eye.
Thank you. You were nicer than I was.
When she used a file and called it a chisel, i knew I wouldnt learn much in this video. And I didnt.
Why didnt she make an alcohol burner? Makes a great stove too.
Oooooèlodd9œ@@brianray8484
Legend has it that candle is still burning to this day...
it probably is to be honest..
Yeah
Maybe
Who lit the black flame candle 😂
The thousand hour candle looks like a great way to burn your house to the ground.
For 1000 hours.
I like the glow of candles and their relaxing effect. Also if you live in an off the grid concrete hut , then you don't have to worry about burning down your cabin on accident.
So Calli predicted her candle would burn for 41 days... Sounds abt right for the Queen of Fire herself.

No wait wait I can fix this
I think you should "file" that 'chisel" under mistake.
She is a girl!!!? File,chisel j,jackhammer same thing
A nail or drill would work on that lid too.
Olive oil burns cleaner with a brighter light. You can buy the wire wick holders that go into a pint jar from Lehman’s.
Be aware that with the mason jar cooking oil lamp, generally the cooking oil is too heavy to go up the wick very far and the lamp burns out long before the fuel is used up. You might be surprised how short of a burn time you actually get on it.
Is that why some people said to put water in first then the oil on top?
"I'm going to use a chisel and hammer" ... Unless I've gone blind a the ripe age of 30, that's a freaking file.
Rennis Tora they/she knows BUT it got comments lol . Production Trickery.
If you use a chisel of wide screwdriver and make an X
You can push from the bottom of the lid and make triangular tangs that you can be bent to hold the wick.
Its when you find out don't hit a 'chisel', in other words a file with a hammer as they can shatter and possibly blind you or someone else!
You guys should build a SPINNING WHEEL, and make some YARN! :)
Nice try Rumpelstiltskin!
String from a string mop works well too. i have had the problem with the w2ick collapsing but found a thin filament of copper wire stuck into the string then saturate all with the wax or whatever your using and it works great!
One of the most fascinating things in this video was the realization that out in my shop I have a file that looks identical to your chisel. What are the odds of that happening twice?
Probably not a great idea to be smacking a hardened steel file with a hammer!
It's not the candles that's the problem in my house it's the lighter! 😂
Get a zippo or make a trench lighter very reliable I accidentally dropped my zippo on a mortar like the firework ones and it still worked afterwards
(a box of matches)
Put rubbing alcohol in the bottom of a cut open or tipped upside down soda can, use the flicker of your lighter up close to the alcohol the spark will ignite it 🐿
Get the wind resistant, fireplace or BBQ lighters. I have them all over my house and by our grill outside. I also have battery operated tea candles (I use in jack-o-lanterns for Halloween for grandkids) all over the house, if your not next to light when power goes out.
Ziploc bag filled with water. Use the sun and baggy as a magnifying glass. When you have done that lighters dont matter. I bet my nephew 20 dollars he couldnt. I lost lol.
I taught him some when he was young and spent 10 years in the woods. It took all day to get the sun just right
After many homes burned to the ground - Fire marshal report "Looks like another tuber tried to make a 1000 hr candle".
Cha ching why the Darwin awards exist .
That giant crisco candle without anything containing it almost certainly would end up starting a fire if left unsupervised.
I love it!!! Thank you. From Pto. Rico, many blessings always.
Nice. Keep putting it out there.
In the campground I use a beer can, about 6" cotton clothesline and charcoal lighter fluid. (Or kerosene at home).
A soda can and veggie oil will work.
Turn the tab over the hole. The hole in the tab holds the wick. Bend that bit up a little. Thicker fuels (veggie oil) require more air.
For sure keep us posted on the status of the massive candle at the end! I wanna know how long it actually lasts!
Of all of the TBCs...

love the improvements to the method previously use... learned from the first run ... made adjustments ♥️
Instead of using those glass jars for your emergency candles, use tin cans of tuna or those Campbell soup can, no worries about breaking those glass jars because if the heat generated by the candles.
Canning jars are made to take the heat. Glass is really best because the light continues to show as the candle burns down.
Glass is typically manufactured at temperatures around 900 degrees C, or 1500 F, so I really wouldn't worry about a tiddly little candle flame damaging it....😉

Covid 21
That's kinda silly . We here in Canada have extreme cold weather sometimes n have had experience a week of electricity outages so.....wouldn't it be handy to have some candles around that u don't need to worry about if they will run out soon
@Country Life Granted if for a wk or so, but here in the US there is a bit of fear that the entire grid may go down. That would also affect Canada and would likely be down up to 2 yrs.😒💜🙏
@@JR-zm2yu Perks of a non-unified grid I guess....
Power outage
In Africa they get a jam jar with a tin lid poke a hole in the lid. Push cotton string through it and fill the jar with cooking oil the string soaks up the oil then they light the wick which is the string sitting on the lid. If the flame is too large they douse it with a pinch of salt.
A birthday candle would be perfect to put down the center of the butter, if you have one. I use candles in my crisco.
That's so cool, you guys are so enthusiastically, enjoyably, wonderfully crazy, and I love you for it, keep em coming.
Garry Walker I’ve deemed this comment worthy of a reply
@@agresivemartinformerlyagre1850 Thank you, I do try bud.
When I have had candles burn down and there was still quite a bit of wax but no wick I used a birthday candle as my wick. I bet that would work in most of your emergency candles.
Little hint on the oil lamp, find yourself some quality fiberglass fabric(for cars, boats, aircraft) and make a wick. Never need to trim.😉
Some of those are downright DANGEROUS!!
My house now smells like Crisco and fear!
Can you please put fluffy slime in a vacuum chamber? I got the new tee, and it's AWESOME!
Looks fun!
Just a suggestion on The 1,000 hours candle 🕯..
Wouldn’t be more practical to melt the Crisco, pour it into the jar, insert a wick or an entire candle and let the crisco hardened (maybe in the fridge) again?
Great tips! I’m sure that sooner or later, it will come in handy!
Thanks
Cotton ropes from a mop works well. Without a jar, any oil receptacle can be improvised with wicks cut & teased from facial cotton.
Canola oil has been effective
Yay! Calli on a Saturday to brighten up my day! ☺

I’d like to know what it smelled like along the way because... uhm... burning fat isn’t the greatest.
Unless it’s bacon fat. Then it smells AMAZING.
3-4 hours i think. The candle will bury the light itself because the heat will not reach the longest side of candle
Very enlightening. Thank you so much.
handy stuff. thank you doing this video. blessings to you.
Using candles to make candles😂😂 that’s definitely not cheating😂

Quick question. Why do you rename your videos after posting them, every time?
To take advantage of the algorithm
So you've noticed it too?? I thought I was going crazy...
@@scottyhaines4226 What algorithm? I thought it was just to increase views, by tricking people into thinking there was one they hadn't seen.
@@jjohnston94 RUclips has an algorithm that puts certain videos on people's recommended lists. If you don't know about the RUclips algorithm then you need to look it up. Most of the bigger channels know how to take advantage of it.
Algorithm. When they change the name the algorithm thinks its new, and features it again. That way they trick youtube into pushing their video for days instead of a day.
❤ Thank You!! Deeply Appreciated!!
Thanks for all the information.
14:14 "I too, am extraordinarily humble."
Awesome, can't wait to try the homemade oil lamp!! Thank you! 😀
I've found this to be easier that punching a hole through the mason jar lid. You get one of those tall aluminum cans (monster cans) and you cut the top off, Punch a few holes through the sides of the can to allow oil to level out inside the can and soak your wick after you've put the can into your mason jar. This way you can use the mason jar lid to safely store the oil candle when it's not in use.
I'm having trouble visualizing what ur explaining.
You should totally post a tutorial
Thank you, so nice and simple!!
Crisco was originally made to be a candle hence the flame on the "I" in the name.. theres a whole history behind it.. read up..
Tim Spaw yeah crisco is not even edible,
Yea.. i
We dont use crisco for food at all.. we still fry everything with lard haha. Does work great for candles though..
@@blueeyeswhitedragon9839 lard is still made from pig fat.. i still use lard to this day...
Crisco has always been veggie stuff but when it was first made it was made for candles not cooking.. thats why theres a flame in the name..
@@TimSpaw1leg Yup, it's hydrogenated. Pretty much Sugar + Crisco = Oreos (GROSS...I mean, they are delicious, but SOOOOO bad for you). Your body tries to digest hydrogenated ANYTHING and it can't figure out how to metabolize that non-soluble junk ;-)
@@blueeyeswhitedragon9839 lard is pig fat and yes you can still buy it. Like when I camp has tons of uses.

Can you make rock candy in the freeze dryer
There's no step in making rock candy that would ever require a freeze dryer.
He'll no
@@lastplace199 you have to wait a long while for the water to evaporate on its own. So I just want to know if it would work in a freeze dryer
"and now we use a chisel"... as she mashes a triangle file with a hammer through the jar lid...lol
Why does everyone always cut the TOP off of the candle? Wouldn't it make more sense to cut off the BOTTOM instead? I have seen about half a dozen channels do the candle in Crisco thing, and every ONE has cut the TOP off. If you cut off the BOTTOM, you don't have to whittle the wax down to light the wick.
Ice picks make quick & easy holes in a lid. Ans simple twine is a quick oil candle wick. 😉
