I am constantly searching for products that I am able to use in the event of an electrical outage. Be it short-term or if perchance it becomes a way of life.
Mr. Perky and I have had several chats about committing to simply becoming less dependant on electricity as a life style choice. I like finding products that use various types of fuel sources. I have tried several products that haven't worked as well as I would like. All that changed with my purchse of the UCO Candlelier® Candle Lantern. This baby uses three 9-hour candles which I feel makes the Candlelier an excellent choice for home and emergency use. The Candlelier employs spring-loaded candle tubes, twist-lock base, aluminum body, and glass chimney. It has a heat shield on the top which they said will produce enough heat to heat small amounts of liquid. Initially I didn't have it seated well enough on top, you sort of have to push it down inside. It does get hot, just ask my silly fingers that "tested" the heat. It definitely heated up some water.
Now that I am comfortable with the product, I will be getting more candles and a citronella set of candles (to try out) for my storage. This is one product I love.

I participate in the Amazon Associates program, where I receive a small percentage of purchase made from my recommendations. I only recommend items that I personally use (or something similar) and like. I always appreciate your help.
