My Greatest Creation Yet
 

Here it is, the Fat Candle.

Over the last 2 weeks, I poured all the bacon grease and other misc fat into a soup can with a wick in it. I filled it up today, and started her up. This is the ultimate aroma therapy for the bathroom.

You should make one.

Re: My Greatest Creation Yet
 

i like the work you did on the can, taking off the label must have been hard . what tools did you use?? a write up would be wonderful. O0

I think I see a chicken bone.

Re: My Greatest Creation Yet
 

yeah, I thought of doing a writeup, but not until I saw that it worked, I'll do one on the next candle. Should be a bit more fancy.

whats it smell like, bacon?

Re: My Greatest Creation Yet
 

Right now it does, cause the top layer is bacon fat, but I expect it to go through stages as the new layers are hit.

becarefull not to let that thing catch on fire. :-X
you should use a quarter size of sheet metal to seperate the flame itself and the grease.(the string sticks throught the plate)

it should be fine... a grease fire would be sick though.
