The Kiytarboo 30oz bucket is designed as a utility burner for static perimeter use. It utilizes a 0.23mm thick tinplate bucket that acts as a heat sink, helping to regulate the temperature of the wax. A three-wick system is employed to create a 120mm melt pool within about 40 minutes, ensuring the 7% citronella oil concentration is dispersed effectively across a roughly 15-foot radius.
To find the most reliable performance, the first ignition should last at least 3 hours to prevent "tunneling." The lead-free cotton wicks are optimized for a 1.5cm flame height, which helps manage soot. While the 200-hour claim is a maximum, real-world community feedback indicates an effective life of 140 to 160 hours. This unit is particularly efficient for those looking for a low cost-per-hour in a large-format candle.
- Soy blend matrix provides better thermal stability than pure paraffin.
- High wax-to-wick ratio offers excellent volumetric efficiency.
- Included lid helps protect the wicks from moisture and debris between uses.
As this unit lacks an internal polymer coating, storing it in a dry area is recommended to avoid oxidation of the tin. At approximately 2 lbs, this is a sturdy option for a permanent patio fixture but may be less convenient for mobile camping compared to smaller 13oz alternatives.
If you require a higher quantity of smaller units for a large event, the 72-count votive set provides significant coverage for wide areas.
