Nice! I tried deer tallow candles. The smell was awkward. I have been reluctant to try other tallow candles since that incident.

haha "awkward", like musky?
Yep, just like gamey venison. I even cut it with beeswax to reduce the smoke & used spearmint & eucalyptus oils. I was very excited. I had rendered a whole buck's worth of tallow, harvested the wax myself & made 13 candles that I gave out as gifts... before test burning one.
😂😂😂
No one said a word 💀😂
It is the thought that counts
The thought of them promptly being snuffed & thrown on the trash is priceless 😂🤣
yeah "buck" is the key thing
a doe might have been a bit more mild
You work with what you've got 🤷♀️ I had no intention of making candles until processing revealed the fattiest buck I'd ever seen. I didn't want to waste it
well, just try some powdered charcoal, it will work
"smells" are almost chemicals with benzene rings in them, and sometimes ammonia groups, but that's another story
those ones are STANK
