I have started experimenting with a candle in my tent in the evenings and mornings. Anyone else worked with this?


The intent is 2 fold for me:

Evening Use: Mainly ambiance really, I would rather have a candlelight in my tent than to deal with a campfire.

Morning Use: Mainly to attempt to reduce or eliminate the condensation gathered from the night but on cold mornings to maybe knock the chill out of the tent for packup


Iterations thus far:

Trial 1: Tea candle in a cat food can.
Results:
  • Ambiance there
  • lightweight
  • No physical effects


Trial 2: Tin can candle, small wick
  • Ambiance there
  • Less lightweight
  • Possible physical effects?


Trial 3(Not Started): Larger Wick?

Trial 4(Not Started): IsoB Lantern
