    Have you tried to see if you can light the whole container on fire? Like if a cat tips the rig or something? Might be something you want to know before leaving one unattended.

    I think the one flame would be insufficient to raise the whole surface of the spilled oil to its flash point. I will have to try something. This is why I tried it using a bowl because of the low center of gravity.

    Candles don't get left unattended or near other easily combustible material.

    In a SHTF situation, nost if the time will be in near dark because I know my house better than any intruder would. One little candle light in a central location of the place will help with some tasks that would need accomplishing.

    Cats would not be safe near our house in SHTF situation. I hear they are delicious.

    Like dogs they must be fed a decent cooking wine, mixed in to the water bowl. 5 - 8 days of a 60/40 (wine) mix softens the muscle / connective tissue making a nice stew. Braising when possible is best. OR very thin sliced as jerky.

    F no... and I mean my wife's cat.... he's not mine. I married into a cat. That POS. Ok, I'm kidding, he's ok, but no he's not trained.

    Night before last I woke up to the sound of a coffee mug and spoon banging around in the sink because the freakin feline jumped on the counter, walked behind the sink knocking over the dish soap bottle, which fell into the sink causing the ruckus. The spoon and mug went off like a dadgum church bell in the middle of the night.

    Did you get to practice your Friend-Foe/Challenge-Response exercise? That would be a great way to get rid of it since they cannot speak.

    I have a "Kandle Heeter" on the way to my house. I may attempt to see if it works with these "un-candles" The wick burned for 6 hours, and I still have oil left in the bowl. I only put about a half cup of oil in on top of the water. So it consumes fuel really slowly.

    Room temperature oil needs a wick to burn... Like cat hair, for example.
