Indian candle with his hands
Indian candle will help you to prepare a hot meal and warm in field conditions
Kind of wood from which it will be made candle does not matter, but it is worth remembering that, for example spruce or pine give a lot of sparks and strlyaet, so use a candle to heat is not convenient. Birch burns well but alas a little bloat.
Most suitable dry aspen that burns smooth and colorless flame.
In general, you must use dry wood.
Roundwood split in half and then half again in half. I would like to note that split the workpiece into four parts is not necessarily the less will be the later slots according to these slots "candle" burned, but cored druh halves harvesting more tedious and difficult than cut corners quarters.
Firmly connect the wire quarters, achieving as much as possible tight fit them to each other, and fills the middle of the small pieces of bark, or the remainder of the torch planing sawdust so that when this was not blocked free passage of air through the channel, otherwise there is no traction. If possible, the "candle" should be placed on stones or Poleshko to have its lower end was a small gap to the air. If not, be pre-cut in the lower side of the workpiece a small duct.
Kindle, it should be borne in mind that if the main focus of the fire concentrated in the upper part of the channel, "candle", it will burn for a long time, but a weak flame, as if to incite "candle" from below, it will burn faster, but the flame is strong. The very process of incitement requires some skill and practice, each time will be obtained faster.
