Been using them for years for when the power goes out. Seldom use all the wicks at the same time, but when they are all in use plenty of light for most inside tasks. We have given them to others for their emergency kits, which is where the ones we just bought are going.

When i first bought the nuwick 120 i really didn't know what to expect. However i have to say that i have been quite impressed with its performance. It burns long and there is not much smell to it. It is definitely a great item to have in an emergency bag along with water, datrex cookies and a rayovac 300 lumen lantern. Hope this helps someone out there.

I have bought and had these on hand for emergencies for a few years. I have elderly parents and I felt it was safer for them than a propane or butane product. With three wicks we have used them in power blackouts to take the chill out of small rooms. I bought a small folding stove online for $10 but I have a 30FT motorhome and I have not needed to use the candles for cooking. The candles have no expiration date and can stove easily in a drawer or cupboard.

I bought a couple Nuwick 120 hour candles before Y2K, and they didn't live up to the boil within 14 minutes boast. I tried two wicks, then three, and for 30 minutes, and they never boiled. The water did get hot, but I guess the heat was dissipating as fast as it was generating. Today, with more time, I dragged out the candle determined to make water boil, but it never did.I tried using several different pans, but to no avail. I'm at an elevation of maybe 2000. And I used a sterno stove, and also a tried a colander, which snuffed out the flames immediately.It did provide suitable light with one wick, and I suspect it will provide much better light with two or three. However, I'm skeptical about the 120 hours, if their cooking was so far off the mark.Care must be taken with this type of candle due to an open flame.Bottom line, get it for light. If you plan to cook, you'll be disappointed.
