A system for repelling insects from an outdoor area includes at least one torch configured to disburse an insect repellant by burning a fuel, and a central fuel reservoir interconnected with the torches by a fuel plumbing system and configured to automatically replenish the fuel in a local reservoir of the torch. Fuel can be gravitationally transferred from the central reservoir to the torches, or maintained under pressure in the plumbing system and controlled by level sensors and valves in the torches. A remotely operated wick seal can exclude air from torch interiors and prevent fuel spills. A central controller and/or local torch controllers can be powered by wires and/or by batteries, which can be recharged by solar power. The controllers can be wirelessly monitored and/or controlled by software running on a remote device. The remote device and software can control a plurality of the systems.

The clear chaffer fuel canister of the present invention allows the users to determine the hours of burn time remaining in relation to the volume of fuel remaining. Visual indicators on the clear base vessel correspond to the predetermined burn time remaining. The volume of fuel, as it reaches the visual indicators provides the user a quick and reliable means of determining the burn time remaining with the clear chaffer fuel canister. The burn time remaining is an essential feature, as clear chaffer fuel canisters are generally used in the food industry in maintaining the proper temperature of prepared food. The burn time remaining provides an indication to the users and allows the users to determine the optimal time to replace the clear chaffer fuel canister and maintain the appropriate temperature of the displayed food.

An example Smart Candle Platform is configured to includes a candle fixture that comprises an outer shell having an opening, a mid-frame, and a base, and a fuel bottle configured to hold a fuel material and is removably coupled to the candle fixture. The fuel bottle is positioned at least partially within a hollow interior of the mid-frame of the candle fixture and accommodated by the base. The fuel bottle further comprises a wick that extends through an opening of the outer shell, and the candle fixture includes an ignitor configured to ignite the fuel material via the wick to produce a living flame. The candle fixture further includes an inner cover having one or more reinforcement ribs configured to provide structural support for the one or more ignitors.

A combustion device having a double-layer structure includes a main body, which is double layered, including an inner-layer wall and an outer-layer wall disposed outside of and spaced from the inner-layer wall such that the inner-layer wall and the outer-layer wall include a hollow disposed therebetween. The inner-layer wall forms a fuel receptacle with an opening. A wick has an end defining fuel-drawing end inserted into the fuel receptacle through the opening.

A Smart Candle Platform may be configured to produce candle light using a natural wax candle as its fuel source or any other fuel source capable of producing light, including liquid fuels if so configured. The outer shell, inner cover, top cover and base provides a beautiful exterior shell which does not melt but emulates the look of a traditional pillar candle. The outer shell may be changeable/replaceable allowing for style and or seasonal changes. A Smart Candle Platform having multiple interactive systems and sensors for production of natural light via a safe, controllable device which may communicate with other similar configured devices or smart devices having application software embedded therein i.e. a smart phone having an app. is disclosed. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for auto-extinguishment. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for the addition of smells or scents.

Ice hole wraps configured to be positioned in a floor of an ice shelter are provided. An ice hole wrap includes a first circular end, a second circular end, a cylindrical wall extending between the first and second ends, and a height extending between the first and second circular ends. The wall is foldable between a first configuration in which the cylinder has a first height between the first and second circular ends, and a second configuration in which the cylinder has a second height between the first and second circular ends.
