They just don't burn as long because they don't have as much wax.Doable Survivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053347401993851981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750145131597692664.post-79788489770489034722013-11-22T16:12:56.358-08:002013-11-22T16:12:56.358-08:00I made a new-improved version and still nuttin'...I made a new-improved version and still nuttin'! I tried a 2-pot version and that improved the temperature by one degree (in a 4 x 8 room for one hour).

You can actually buy them. I tried it lower than in the photo too. I was skeptical that it would work.
