Crisco works great as candle fuel
The internet is chock-full of candle-making tutorials. However, if all that’s needed is a simple light source without all the fancy and smell-good fixings that artisanal candles have, a can of Crisco may be all that is required. This is an intriguing yet simple DIY.
Get an entire can of the fatty substance and run a wick or piece of string through it. Then, light it up, and the Crisco will act as fuel to keep the fire going, just as the wax in candles does. This light source will last for quite a while.
