To do a honey burn for example I put a couple of large tablespoons of honey in a metal container(coffee can,pot etc.) and place it on either a small coleman stove on low heat or use canned heat such as sterno.Use the fold open metal stove thingy when using sterno.If you place the container directly on top of the sterno can you will put the flame out as it needs oxygen to fuel the flame.I've used a torch under a pot hanging on a branch to do burns from my treestand but this is not adviseable if you have a lot of hornets around as the smell from the burn will attract them.When I sit a treestand I use a sterno type stove placed on the ground in my baitsiteand it usually takes about 1.5 hours to complete the burn.It is the pungent aroma put off when the honey burns that sticks to the trees and bears love the smell of it.When I set a bait I use a coleman stove cranked up to get things going as I do not want to spend a lot of time at just one site as I have quite a few I have to bait.As for a bacon burn or sardine burn I use the coleman and crank it up.I have not found a place yet to get anise cheap so like I posted earlier I boil black licorice and use the liquid after done boiling which smells just like anise.Vanilla extract is not expensive and also works very well.
