Hi all,
For a christmas present a local and very talented blacksmith made me a garden torch/candle holder. In its simplest term its a 2m long 12mm thick bar with a cone on the top and you push the whole thing into the ground. The cone is about 75mm long and 30mm across the open end tapering down to the bar. (its all a lot more pretty than that simple description, check out nicwestermann.co.uk for the best spoon and carving knifes available).
My question is this, to create a winproof candle/flame that will last for a couple hours what do people recomend? Tight rag balls soaked in diesel work well for flame and light effect but burn out after 20 minutes at the most.
Regards, TT
