Those look really good, i think im going to try the wax stove.
Looks handy, quite small too maybe for a survival kit?

You could probably use animal fats as well, so could construct one in the field if need be or top one up. I like the idea... ... I feel some experimentation coming on.

If you cant get hold of a pan to melt the wax in, you could light a candle and drip the wax in. This might take a while but its another way.

or melt iit in the pot you're using
I like the idea of this - have a load of wax left over from making some waxed dryer lint for fire making.
If anyone finds a source of cheap tins I would be interested. Wonder how a small can of nuts would work??
Those tins that 'Travel Sweets' come in look like they would be perfect for this and you get to eat the sweets first.

I made loads of these years ago, but the design I copied from said to fill the tin up with tightly rolled card board then add the wax, however I like the design in the link much better.. the ones I made worked well and burned for about 5 hours but they did make the billycans as black as, well..er..soot.
