I would estimate it at one large or two medium. I made tarts with 1lb. It made 12 tarts. Each around 2-3 ounces.

I have a candle making book that recommends 1 tablespoon of essential oil per pound of soy wax. I have been using that ratio, but it does not produce a strong smelling candle. Some oils smell stronger than others.

I purchased this last year , I got two for two grand daughters. There is maybe one pound or a little less in the kit. I ordered from Candle Science a 50 lb box of soy wax, and many 1oz. ,wicks and other things they have good prices check their web sight. They have good video how to's and you tube does also. This kit is good to see if you like candle making.

What a good idea! I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Maybe make a small candle first and see how it works, before you make a large one? I think it would smell wonderful.

Yes, when I make candles I also use 8oz jars. So far I have found that one 5lb bag works well. Sometimes I may still have some wax left over.

There are an enormous number of variables which would make this a very difficult question. Would you use a large grill, small grill or just a single small burner. The way I would suggest for you is to buy a 1 pound disposable tank and see how long it lasts with the burner you are asking about. Then you can multiply the amount of lbs in the Worthington tank and then you will know how it will last.

It would be a big wick for a tealight candle. I use these in my 13 oz. round jars and I have to put in three wicks for the melt pool to melt to the edges. I would find a smaller size wick.

I use one stick of softened butter (which is 1/4 lb or 1/2 cup) - it works perfectly.

Depends on the gas pressure. About one inch at one pound. Half at 10 pounds.

I guess that depends on the cookie. :) I get roughly two batches. It's about a foot tall. We use it every Christmas season! :)

Its common to do a pound per gallon or 1 inch/ 1&1/2 inch. One bag will be fine.

I've made candles twice and each time used a variety of jars I had on hand - I prefer the 8 to 16 oz jars for this purpose and end up with 6-8 candles. They burn nicely.

The Jelly Belly com says there are "Approximately 400 beans per pound" so there should be about 1,600. But to be honest we were too busy munching to do much counting, lol.

If I am making them to cook fresh then I make them about 1/2 lb so they are a great party size. I am not sure if I really answered your question though.

We just cook a pound at a time. Don't have to break the spaghetti. We are only 2 people. I am sure you could cook more but 1 lb does great.

There are 10 weights, each one pound. So yes, you can start at one pound by putting one weight in each cuff.

Hi Jennifer; this product is what I started out using to make candles in my home. It's large enough to make one 3-inch diameter by 4-inch tall container candle at a time with a little room to spare, making it easier to pour without making a serious mess and possibly burning yourself. It works well for a single container candle or small lots of votives or tea lights.
