'Curiosity'; scent stick success

[MikePal]

Just get a small bucket that is big enough to cover over the scent stick when it's stuck in the ground. The drill x4-x5 1/2" holes around the side at the bottom and some 3/4" holes around the top (no holes in top)....

I just picked up some sent sticks today and would like to ask if any one made a chimney or how hey actually burn them ???

I use a can with a lid, like a Pringle's can or the other chip Stackers, there is even a instant coffee can that will work, a tall skinny can with a lid, I carry my sticks and since I don't smoke a lighter in the can. Like Mike says drill holes in the top and bottom to allow for air flow.

Any downside to just lighting and letting them burn uncovered?

WHY NOT JUST A PIECE OF 4" ABS OR PCV PIPE.

cut it to the length of the sticks. add 2 caps . drill out your vent holes .. 4 to 6 in the upper portion and 2 down low ..
in the bottom cap (dead center) drill a small hole just big enough for a press fit for the scent stick wooden portion. this will hold the scent stick in the exact center of the pipe.

also a small string taped to the upper portion if the pipe and you can hang the whole unit at any height you wanted.

make this once and you'll have it forever .. make a few and leave them at your hunting spots ...

better then a 5 gal pail in the woods!

you're welcome! :-)

the wind will burn down the stick to fast....in the 'bucket' it will last 2+ hrs....

I have a small cat litter bucket...perfect size. I use it to carry apples out to the stand...they flip it over and burn the stick under it....your welcome too !!

I also have x2 of the black plastic ones that come with the Combo Pack I used to burn...they have lasted me for years and like skeeter says, just leave them out by the stand.
