This Kiytarboo set provides three 12oz candles, each featuring a three-wick equilateral distribution. This design is intended to create a complete melt pool within 45 minutes, preventing the "tunneling" that often occurs in larger single-wick candles. The tinplate steel vessels include an internal epoxy phenolic coating to protect against corrosion, and the hybrid wax blend provides the structural integrity needed for high-heat environments.
Specifications indicate that while 210 hours of total burn time is possible for the set, the focus is on providing a stable center of gravity that resists tipping in moderate wind. The three-wick system generates more radiant heat than single-wick models; it is recommended to use a ceramic coaster or similar thermal barrier if placing these on PVC or composite decking to protect the surface from heat transfer.
The 5% citronella concentration offers an active radius of approximately 4 to 6 feet per candle. The sturdy gauge of the tinplate also makes the housing reusable for small item storage once the wax is fully consumed. While reliable for ambient lighting, storing these in a cool place will help ensure the scent remains effective over the summer season.
If you prefer a soy-based option in a similar tin format, the Peln 4-pack of 7.4oz tins offers a cleaner-burning alternative.
