Swedish torch

[Shane]

I'm sure a few of you have made these before.

I made and used a few to keep me warm while working on my reliable Landrover during the cold weather.

 

I'mm gonna make some ready for the patio evenings during the spring/summer.

I know the guy isn't wearing PPE etc. etc. but you get the point.

 

I recon a few of these with kindling bags could be quite marketable.

Grab a straight roung log and make one, we even do them out of leylendii, put a firelighter on top to get it going and voila!

We make one most days when having dinner. The funny thing is working in the wilderness of Sweden u would think the Swedish ground fellas would do one but they just go sit in there cars and look at us like we are weird haha simple and quick to make and get going even in -27 conditions here in Sweden.

Lawsons was what I had to hand the first time I made one. It not only burns well but if you're not too close (smokey) it gives off a lovely smell which I can only describe as a cross between lemon and vanilla!
