yep to the polish tipi, personally i think they are ace when you dont need to carry it too far (weighs about 3.5kg which isnt loads but enough when my other tent is 2kg).

can u use them with the lid on ... i like that idea very good
is that just a jam jar you've used ...
it looks like i will be on the hunt for some jars matey ..
are they roomy inside??? could you shove a wood burner in one as well? or is possible just to have an actuall fire in the middle?
Great idea .. Bought a uco lamp some years ago good bit of kit !!! just have to be careful where i pack it in my bergan the glass doesn't take kindly to knocks and bangs ??? And the candles are not cheap either ?????
So ive just gone to the fridge cleaned out the last bit of strawberry jam washed the jar put in a tea light FANTASTIC its as bright as my uco and the tea lights are cheap as chips
aye and a hell of lot cheaper as well mate
i fill my jar with tea lights with lid on when carrying it and stuff it in an old sock, safe as houses also it can go in the middle of the sleeping bag for added protection. Oh and if you are using other candles instead of tea lights (for instance i have a uco candle from an old broken lantern i cut it in half) few drops of hot wax in the jar and stick the candle in central ...
just tried it with an old aniseed ball jar, hmmmm, methinks that the jar lid is just too small to support the air flow
bugger
ah well, better finish off the marmalade and try it with a larger jar!
used to make these as kids for bonfire night, every kid had one, it was great seeing a dozen or so bobbing around in the dark happy days
