\nInstructions for use<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Place the log candle upright on a flat surface. It’s important to keep it away from flammable materials. <\/li>\n
  2. The bottom hole containing the fuse must be at the bottom.<\/li>\n
  3. Light the log candle from the fuse and wait about 10 minutes for it to catch fire. The flame height is approximately 20 cm. <\/li>\n
  4. If the log candle should go out for any reason (e.g., strong wind), drop a lit match down the chimney from the top, and it should reignite on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What is a log candle?<\/h2>\n

    A log candle or fire log (known as a Swedish torch<\/em> or Canadian candle<\/em>) is a practical and impressive way to make a fire. It’s a single piece of wood with cuts or drilled holes for a controlled and stable burn. It’s filled with a flammable substance and includes a convenient fuse. The mosquito-repelling log candle also contains lemongrass extract. It works as both a light and heat source and is perfect for outdoor use \u2013 for example, while hiking, at a summer home, or a garden party. A log candle with cuts can also be used for cooking by placing a pan on top. <\/p>\n

    Historical background<\/h2>\n

    The idea of the log candle dates back to the 17th century and is linked to the Swedish army, where it was used on the battlefield as a simple and efficient fire source. Since firewood was scarce in many places, a way was developed for a single log to function instead of a campfire. <\/p>\n

    How do log candles work?<\/h2>\n

    The log candle burns using the chimney effect. The flame and hot air move upward inside the log while fresh air enters from the bottom \u2013 this ensures continuous burning. <\/p>\n
