Candle making question

[DollDoctor]

I have been saving up tuna cans and scraps of cardboard to make some emergency stoves, however I have to be mindful of my husband's asthma. Do these create a lot of smoke? Which type of wax should I use to create the least air pollution?

Soy wax is generally considered safer for people with allergies. Make sure whatever you use is unscented. I would be more concerned about the tuna cans giving off something, could you use glass jars instead? (Wouldn't need to be canning jars, any jars with lids and straight sides should work).

Wow, I never even thought about the can. I think the idea of using a tuna can is that it's low and wide, and lightweight. But you have made a good point, I will look around for some glass jars instead. Thanks.

You're welcome.
