ABSTRACT:
A candle structure for burning a fuel which is liquid at room temperature includes a hollow enclosure which alternatively may contain the fuel being consumed or may float upon the fuel, and rigid wick means, preferably in the form of one or more charcoal rods, supported with the upper end above the enclosure. The wick means extends into the enclosure, with its lower end either inside the enclosure, when the latter contains the flammable liquid, or extending through a lower wall of the enclosure when floating upon the liquid. Additional features include construction of the enclosure and/or the container in various decorative forms, and cooperative structure on a floating enclosure and on the fuel container for rotating the enclosure as it moves downwardly as the fuel is consumed.
