A method of preventing clogging of a reusable wick, a method of fueling a reusable wick, and a fuel burning system are provided. The fuel burning system has a melted fuel reservoir, a melting grate, and at least one wick. The melted fuel reservoir is configured to receive a solid fuel. The melting grate is located above at least a portion of the melted fuel reservoir so that fuel melted on the melting grate can be received into the melted fuel reservoir. The at least one wick has an at least partially hollow core forming a burn chamber extending above the melting grate. The wick is spaced from the reservoir so that melted fuel in the reservoir is spaced apart from a bottom of the wick.

The disclosure relates to candles, including multi-wick candles, that contain one more non-ionic emulsifiers. The non-ionic emulsifier(s) can be contained in the candle base formulation and/or in the wick coating formulation. The candles exhibit one or more desirable properties, such as good flame height, good fragrance character, low mineral impurity levels and little or no discoloration.

A combustion apparatus is provided. The combustion apparatus includes a fuel reservoir storing fuel therein, and a main body connected to the fuel reservoir by a flexible tube. The main body receives fuel from the fuel reservoir and combusts the fuel therein. The main body is partitioned into an upper space and a lower space by a partition plate. The main body includes a combustor that is provided in the upper space and combusts fuel supplied from the fuel reservoir, a blower that is provided in the lower space to supply air to the combustor, and a heating unit that is removably coupled to the combustor and completely combusts air incompletely combusted in the combustor. The combustion apparatus completely combusts liquefied animal and vegetable oil, thus reducing a tar generation rate.

A substantially planar wick is formed with a two- or three-dimensional pattern. The contours of this pattern are determined by the desired flame characteristics or the desired visual aesthetics of the pattern itself.

A safe combustion device includes a housing. A wick is disposed in the housing. The wick has a top end at a first distance from a bottom surface of the housing. A guiding device is connected to the housing and includes at least one shade. The at least one shade has bottom and top sides at second and third distances from the bottom surface of the housing respectively. The second distance is shorter than the first distance. The first distance is shorter than the third distance. The at least one shade has an inner lateral side adjacent to the wick. The at least one shade and the housing include a flow passage formed therebetween.
