yah that really bad smelling smoke i presum is coming out of the hole in the top of the wide can, that stuff is called wood gas, which is extremely flammable, if you light it as soon as it starts pouring out at a decent amount youll have a flame on top which you could use to heat another can on top of this, or you could run the gas down to the underside to create heat instead of your candle

Can you write a bit about why charcloth is useful?

[jkotrub]

Charcloth burns VERY easily ....so easily in fact that it is the preferred tinder for fint and steal .... even over other methods such as wax fire sticks, fire paste, or magnesium.

Thanks, I was gonna ask the same thing as Moonbeam. Whats Charcloth?

The stuff the author made in the last picture :)

It's basically a cotton cloth piece that's been placed in a very hot and dry place, so that it turns to a piece of char that's easy to burn for tinder. Just don't let it get wet.....
