This is still a work in progress. Word is there are rolling blackouts at times here in NorCal. If and when the power goes out, I'll need something to heat with. Don't really want to add a propane heater. This should at least keep the chill at bay.
As for the candles, I've found generic Crisco tubs of soybean oil is a lot cheaper. Went with small glass cup candles instead. Fill up the used glass candles with with the soybean oil, thread 100% cotton yarn through a straw and push it to the bottom for a wick. They last a lot longer and don't have a bad smell either.
