All you have to do is put a lid on it for water to boil. No lid, no boil.
I was going to suggest the very same thing. 😅
@@RenegadeBastard Yep, the day after I got my UCO Candle Lantern, I tried boiling 10 ounces of water in two IMUSA aluminum cups of different sizes. For both, I covered them with lids I made of cardboard covered with aluminum foil. It took a long time, but water boiled in both cups. How long? I honestly don't remember. Maybe 17 minutes? I just remember it was an impractically long time. I take a JetBoil with me wherever I go so I'll never really need to boil water or cook with a UCO candle, but I was curious, and yes, it does boil water just fine. It just takes time, and it absolutely needs to be in a covered container. This guy doing the review seems like a nice enough guy, but who doesn't know that boiling water?
And don't you think new candles, hence closer to the pot might make a quicker boil as well as adding a lid?
I can't wait to get mine. I had an old one but it was given to me broken and I didn't know that I could get replacement parts - 🙄 duh
I do like the UCO candle lanterns: both the single and the triple candle versions. The UCO candles really are very good and they burn cleaner and longer than the cheaper candles. I do wish the UCO candles were not so expensive. Now, I think they are about $3.50 per candle, so when you look at burning the three candle Candelier, for nine hours, that is over $10.00 per use. Compare that with running a Coleman lantern for 9 hours with even more light at about $2.50. of course, a modern LED light will last even longer and cost less to operate, but that is a different kind of light. For folks who do not camp much, it doesn't matter, but if you camp once or twice per month for several days per month, then it adds up.
I’m thinking a slightly bigger pot, that would be covering the heat vents, might give you a boil. With the small cup, the heat is just going around the cup.
I was really looking for a vid that showed how much light this threw out. Nice vid and thanks for the info!
I so envy the way you easily open the base . . . I have spent ages trying to open without success,all I've got are very sore hands! Is there a secret? Damn thing won't budge,am I missing a trick?
I do have the big candle lantern. I am an asthmatic, so this is my campfire. I didn't know about the orange or blue candles, though, so thanks for that info; I ordered some before the video ended.
It’s crazy to me when I see people trying to boil water on these lanterns they don’t understand how to utilize the heat coming from the top of the lantern. The majority of the heat is coming around the center, in the open vented areas.. you need a pan that covers those open areas where the majority of the heat is rising through. That and you need a lid to hold in the energy for a far faster boil.
You can put a wood-stove Fan on top and watch it work, Amazing.....
Where would you find a wood stove fan small enough to fit on there? Ty I’ve been looking and they’re big. Thank you
@@carebedford5522 Amazon has a mini heat activated wood stove fan.
I just bought two of them in case TSHTF! Thank you for your demonstration. These old eyes of mine can’t see the fine print instruction pamphlets that came with them. 🤣❤️🌹 Your instruction made everything very clear.
You have to have a lid on to boil water.
Cover the top of the mug you wish to get to a boil and you might have a chance.
Great, simple, to the point review with all the information you need to know. Great review. Subscribed.
Put a can of food on the top, lovely.
does it raise the temp of the van at all? Wondering how it would do in a tent
I've watched and read quite a few reviews on this now and thoughts are mixed. Some ppl swear by them, others not so much, and some even say it's a waste of $. I think maybe it depends on your expectations and what you want from it. Some ppl think it'll heat their whole van or tent but don't have any insulation (and I definitely think that a factor) and some just want to raise the temp a few degrees in order to survive 🤷♀️
Nice! New vid lets gooo!
Thinner aluminum cup with lid and she'll boil way faster.
Very nice, I would like one, thank you🐕
Last year I buy one the first night was nice the candles burn perfectly the second night was catastrophic, I have changing the candle for the one with bee wax and they melt horribly, wax everywhere
I think it would boil water if it were covered.
I think you must put a lid on the water mug
I just bought two of these to offset the heating bill in the house, Haven't recieved it yet, hope it works.
Thats not going to work. Did you price candles?
Love hiker j hike happy
Looking at one for inside my home. Does it get too hot? How do you blow it out
just blow through the vents on the top to blow it out
Wish I could find out how warm they get in a tent, 3 person size
How do i get extra plain candles for it? Cant find it on their uk site. Thanks.
I think stem milk would work
I just received mine today. I'm wondering what it takes to clean up all the melted candle and remove it to replace with the new clean candles. It seems like it would pretty messy. Any reviews on that?
I read on a review, that after removing the candles, put the lantern in the freezer until the wax gets brittle and then scrape the wax out. Haven’t tried it but just passing on another option.
Do they make a lot of soot/smoke?
No not much at all
How would it work in a tent?
I would not hang it in a tent because of the heat. but it would be ok on a table
A lid would of helped to bring it to a boil.
or a stove
boiling water on it is just a gimmick some youtubers cottened onto.
