I used one of those natural fiber pots for planting tomatoes and such. I packed bacon grease and wood shavings in there and it lasted several hours.

I made one out of a small mushroom can filled with bacon grease and a jute twine wick like you made. That burned for several hours and there is still a lot of burning time left when I light it again!

Thanks for the reply, Kudlik or qulliq (ᖁᓪᓕᖅ, IPA) is a type of oil lamp used by the Inuit. The lamp consists of a crescent-shaped cup of carved soapstone. It sounds like they are one and the same. Take care. Love your videos.

Great video as always!

David , good tip , thanks for sharing , God bless !

I've had to improvise and make a candle. No household goods available. I had some machine wax that I melted on an exhaust manifold. Poured it up and used steel wool for the wick it actually worked. Not great but it worked.

Nice lamp, thanks for the grease/oil lamp method. This is handy. By the way, if you keep it full of grease, it will not burn the bamboo as fast.

Yes. The small diameter Bamboo got me on this one. A piece of 3" or 4" and only half as deep would have held up better. It would have charred it, but not let it burn it away like this one did. LOL!

It is like a kudlic lamp of the north. Great video!!

Interesting. Never heard of them... WIKI... Qulliq Lamp... This characteristic type of oil lamp provided warmth and light in the harsh Arctic environment where there was no wood and where the sparse inhabitants relied almost entirely on seal oil or on whale blubber. This lamp was the single most important article of furniture for the Inuit peoples in their dwellings.

Very good idea and cheaper than alcohol.Thanks for the video.

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I started thinking. Might wanna be careful using them outside when camping. Could bring in some wildlife with that sweet smell of bacon. But great for a light source over a few hours. Mine came out alittle solidified. I need to make a good wick like yours.

Do you realize how valuable bacon grease can be when it comes to seasoning food? You burning GOLD! Better use some of that fish grease left over from your cooking.
