Went to switch to a bigger pot for my trap wax … so I heated up on high and dumped out what was melted put back on burner to melt the rest off the sides of old pan and it started smoking … the wax has cooled and does have a burnt Smokey smell… is it still okay to use ot do I need to dump 7# of wax out and start new?? Will they be fine? Last edited by Billkil1187; 01/16/26 04:31 PM.

Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

Agree 100% As far as burn odors being attractive to canines . . . I have made a set, lightly covered it with hay or straw and lit it a fire.
