A reflector oven is a box with metal inside of it. There is a shelf in the middle for supporting the food. It works by using radiant energy from the campfire to bake food inside of it. You will need to make a big fire to bake in a reflector oven, and the heat source will need to be consistent. One extra smart reader, Amy V., noted that in an emergency, when everyone else is scrambling to buy propane, butane, gasoline, and other fuels, there could be piles of tea lights just sitting around, waiting for a HERC owner to come along! During our 30-day grid-down cooking challenge, we frequently used the HERC candle oven in the kitchen with a carbon monoxide detector that had a digital readout nearby. The carbon monoxide detector never registered any level of carbon monoxide while cooking with candles. Gas camping stoves run on canisters of butane, propane, or isobutene. Some can even use multiple types of fuel, like unleaded gasoline, in a pinch. Just be warned that you cannot cook over a gas fireplace. There is a considerable risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if you open the glass doors. Likewise, you can ruin the fireplace if food drips on the logs of vents. Don’t risk it!

It is also possible to use a traditional stovetop by placing the tea lights in the drip pan under the burner and placing the pan on the top as usual. I’d recommend lining the drip pan with foil in case the wax spills. Combination cookers aren’t as popular in the United States and other Western countries, but you can still find them. If you live somewhere with frequent power outages, though, this might be worth considering. Candles can be used as a low-level emergency light source. A candle produces a light of about 13 lumens. To put this into perspective, a 40-watt bulb produces 450 lumens. You would need to burn 35 candles to get the same light produced by one 40-watt bulb.As for the bread? It didn’t turn out half bad after I cooked it an additional 20 minutes (beyond the called for one hour) in the big oven at 350… and cut off the burned bottom… and a bit of the sides! I should note that it was a big lopsided but it all went down the same as far as I was concerned. A volcano stove is a collapsible stove that is also very versatile. It can be heated with propane, charcoal, or wood.

How to Makeshift a Candle-Powered Tea Light Oven

Take 3 pieces of toilet paper and place them flat over the tuna. They will absorb the oil. The toilet paper should create an air-tight seal around the lid of the can. Using a double boiler, melt wax. You can use old crayons or candles for the wax. I’ve also heard of people using butter instead of wax. Never try to melt wax over a direct flame because it easily catches fire. I already told you all of the great benefits of burning with wood. This reason was actually one of the reasons I listed that having a wood-burning option in your home was wonderful.The HERC itself is easily stored and/or taken in a BOB or other mode of transport, so it would be easy to have in all situations. However, you can’t just go outside and start a fire in a random location. I mean, you could, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It is always better to have a designated space and a plan laid out as to how you will function if modern convenience isn’t available. The good news is that wood stoves produce a pleasant heat, and you will get in shape from chopping up all that wood. Please don’t use a portable wood stove indoors without proper venting, a door that seals shut, and a carbon monoxide detector!

As mentioned, I now have a wood stove, and we still have our gas grill too. Yet, I kept thinking the whole time during that storm, “What am I going to do if my gas runs out?” Dutch ovens are big, heavy cooking pots made from cast iron. You set them right on top of the fire and/or cover them up with coals. These are especially great for making stews.

That is when my husband and I came up with the idea of an outdoor kitchen area. We made an outdoor wood-burning grill from an old barrel with a lid. We painted the outside, placed a grill grate inside of it, and have a lid to contain the heat. We go without power every winter. Some times for a few hours, a few days, and once for a few weeks. I have a feeling most folks will experience a prolonged power outage in their lives a time or two. Or like us, a time or two every month or so… 🙂 Plus, they require no power and don’t cost an arm and a leg either. Anything that is dependable and affordable, I’m all about.
