3 easy ways to make a finnish candle

For the quick construction of a warm hearth or place for cooking in nature, the design of a Finnish candle is suitable. Thanks to it, a lot of wood is not expended and the kindling process becomes more mobile.

/

You can make such a candle using three different tools: a screwdriver, a chainsaw or an ax. At the same time, the basis for ignition remains unchanged - a thick log from 30 to 40 cm in diameter.

Main works

When using a chainsaw as the main tool, the work is reduced to the following actions: it is necessary to saw the log into 6 equal segments, the cuts are made almost to the base. To mount the pot on the surface, three stones can be used as a support.

The disadvantage of this configuration is that it is impossible to control the processes occurring inside the candle. It may not catch fire because the surface of the cuts is too smooth, and the flow of air is minimal and its amount cannot be affected.

To make a Finnish candle with a screwdriver, you need to drill one hole from the top and the other from the side near the bottom edge. For work, a pen drill is used, which makes large holes. Three hammered nails are used as a stand for dishes.

Making a Finnish candle with an ax involves cutting logs into a pole of equal parts. After that, the middle is selected from each part, and the remaining large chips are connected in a circle using wire.

In order for the candle to flare up well, it is necessary to make nicks on each piece of log. They must look down so that the flame rises over them. This configuration is most successful, since with the help of a wire it is possible to adjust the width of the gaps and the access of oxygen, as well as with the help of nicks and irregularities, the flame of a candle flames up faster. As fuel in this embodiment, you can use chips from the core and parts of logs.

To form a good flow of air. Necessary for burning, you need to make large enough holes and cuts, otherwise the candle will not give a flame. As kindling dry sawdust birch, apple or alder is used. It is good to use birch bark.
