The Furnizone 8oz candle set uses a 2-wick system in a 3.1-inch diameter tin, an engineering choice made to ensure a full melt pool and prevent "tunneling" in soy wax. By having two ignition points, the candle reaches its full thermal radius within 45 minutes, ensuring 98% of the wax is consumed. The 5% citronella oil concentration meets the standard for localized insect mitigation, and the natural soy wax has a higher flash point, making it safer for storage in high-temperature summer environments.
Practical reality shows that the 2-wick design, while efficient at melting wax, does increase fuel consumption, which reduces the total burn time by about 15% compared to single-wick 8oz candles. These units are also quite sensitive to wind, so they perform best in sheltered areas or when used in a perimeter formation 4 to 6 feet apart. If the wicks happen to "drown" in the liquid wax pool, pouring off a small amount of wax can help restore the flame.
The tin housing is durable enough to be reused for storing small hardware, seeds, or craft supplies after the candle is finished. While lemongrass is included in the scent, it tends to be the dominant note, which is something to consider if you plan on using these in semi-enclosed spaces.
For those who need a bulk supply of small candles for a large event, the Yming 12-pack offers a higher quantity of similar-sized candles.
These 2-wick candles are a reliable mid-sized option to distribute around your deck alongside citronella scented outdoor torches.
