    I don't understand the confusion. These aren't candles. The string is simply a 'handle to facilitate dunking. Trim the string (or leave it on, doesn't matter) and toss into fire place. They will help start the fire, burn colorfully and give of a perfumed scent. I dont melt wax in a pot. I wash out a canned food can so when I'm done I don't have to deal with the clean-up.

    what is wrong with all you people?these are not candles and should not be burned in that manner. they work great out doors on a patio fire pit or in a back yard bon fire.im not sure i would want to use them in the house but i know people who do.anything pine lights easily due to the dryness of it and all the sap. i think this was an amazing video and honestly cant wait to make these myself.would make adorable xmas gifts!

    You don't have to wrap the pinecone in the wick because you can just dip the pinecone in the wax and then lite it and it'll burn like that

    My mom only has a wood stove and once it goes out (which it does easily), it takes awhile to get it lit again. I saw this idea in Birds & Blooms, but I appreciate the video of how it's done. I can't wait to start making these! Plus, her home will smell good :)

    @knightbook1003 I'd say get a larger pot, put in a screen or something to keep the can from toughing the bottom of the pot, pour in water until it's about 1/3 full and set it on the burner, then put some wax in your can to weigh it down and set it in the pot. then turn on the heat and add the desired amount of wax. using a double boiler greatly reduces the chances that the wax will get too hot and ignite in your can.

    I've tried pinecones without wax and works great also works great if sprayed cooking oil, But wouldnt the fire flame melt the wax and thus extinguished the fire?

    Wow, that was wonderful! I use old candle wax and melt it down, then pour it over dryer lint-filled egg cartons valleys!

    I made these last Christmas for gifts. I just shared your link on another fb page. They turned out great! I would include a pic if I could. I didn't use liquid dye but concentrated candle dye from Craft 2000. I am sure you can also use old crayons or wax from old candles. My sister used these in her fireplace and had no mess after they burned. Thanks for sharing your video.

      @naticamargo9966 4 роки тому +1

      Hola!! No, no es anilina, es parafina o cera de velas. La parafina la podés teñir con colorante de vela o sino con crayones de cera, de esos que usan los niños para colorear. También le agregan aromatizante. La idea es sumergir las piñas dejando que se sequen luego de sumergirlas para acumular capas de cera y que te quede hecha la vela. Espero haberte ayudado! Suerte!

    I've been making these for years. You light the 'wick' and put it in the fireplace. Then pile the wood on top of it. I thought that was self explanatory.

  • @CarrieFlanary
    @CarrieFlanary 14 років тому

    Verra & Pink - the pine cones ARE flammable and are not dangerous to use because this is a video on how to make a fire starter. These aren't supposed to be candles. :) I think it's ingenious.

  • @PixieStyx92
    @PixieStyx92 11 років тому +1

    Instead of waiting for them to cool, before you re-dip.. you could dip them in cold water.

      Burn time on a fire STARTER. LMAO! These aren't the 4 hour burn logs. They are only meant to start a wood burning fire. You don't need a burn time for that.

    this takes me straight back to my childhood - we used to live on a farm and our house was surrounded by pine trees, my dad used to use the pine cones as braai (barbeque) coal. Never thought to use them as firestarters though

      Nicole Synadinos, I believe it is because the wax slows down the burn giving your logs ample time to get a good start. And it's pretty too! Geometry Dash Cubic, yes, I know... we're all %&$*(! pinecones!
