We'll need FUEL...But what kind of fuel ???

Fuel translates into Heat and light. In a world turned up-side down switches and dials won’t do us much good, we’ll need FUEL… But what kind of fuel.

I have distilled some fuels to their basic uses.. Some store and some don’t, some travel, some are readily available and some perishable or dangerous, each has it’s benefit. You will surely need several and will have to make the decision according to your budget and your needs.

FUEL FACTS …part 1
CANDLES: Store candles in a cool area. Store at least 3 candles per day
¾” diameter x 4” burns about 2 hours. 7/8” diameter x 4” burns about 5 hours.
2” x 9” burns about 7.5

CANNED HEAT: Stores easily and can be used indoors. A 7-ounce can burns about 1-1/2 hours. It will evaporate over long periods of time, especially if stored in warm environment.

CHARCOAL: Use for outdoor cooking only. Stores indefinitely if kept dry. Use good quality like Kingsford for easier lighting and better burn time. When used in an applebox oven, use 1 briquette for every 35 degrees burns for 35 minutes. For Dutch oven cooking, use the oven size in inches plus 3 briquettes on top and the oven size in inches minus 3 briquettes on the bottom for 350-375 degrees. 1 hour per day baking in applebox oven = 20 – #15 lb bags charcoal.

COOKING OIL: Emergency candles can be made from oil. Take a piece of string, lay one end in cooking oil and allow the other end to hang over the edge of jar. Light the dry end. Use 7-8 strings for more light. These are very smoky and should be used only when nothing else is available
