This dual-wick centerpiece is designed to provide a wide, stable footprint, making it suitable for uneven surfaces like picnic tables or stone walls. The 8 oz volume is split between two wicks to increase the visible "glow" and accelerate the scent dispersal in a "dead air" zone. The 30-gauge tinplate housing allows the units to be nested and stacked easily for off-season storage in a pantry or garage.
Specifications indicate a burn time of up to 25 hours, though real-world airflow typically results in a functional life of 18-20 hours. To help manage the flame height and reduce soot, wicks should be maintained at a length of 0.25 inches. As the fuel level drops below 15%, the metal housing transfers heat more efficiently to the base; using a coaster or heat-resistant mat is a practical way to help monitor and protect patio finishes.
For a different aesthetic that uses a single, larger flame for dispersal, you might be interested in a concrete-finish wax bowl as a heavy-duty alternative.
Integrating functional lighting into your exterior decor is simplified by browsing the flameless citronella candle lanterns collection for coordinated sets.
