A multifunction decorative torch comprising has a base providing an upwardly directed light, a cap supporting a liquid fueled torch insert having a wick and a fuel reservoir, and an outer wall supporting the cap and defining an interior space between the base and cap. The upwardly directed light illuminates the outer wall from within the interior space. The liquid fueled torch insert is supported by the cap such that the wick burns outside the interior space between the base and cap and the fuel reservoir is at least partially inside the interior space between the base and cap.

A fuel cell system includes a liquid fuel, a cup to contain the liquid fuel having an opening. A removable plate component associated with the opening defines a plurality of holes associated with the opening. A plurality of wicks are selectively disposable in one or more of the plurality of holes to position the wick both above the removable plate and below the removable plate in fluid communication with the liquid fuel.

An oil candle includes a reservoir configured for holding flammable fluid. In one embodiment, the reservoir defines at an upper end thereof a funnel having a neck portion sized for receiving and supporting a wick, the wick being capable of extending through the neck of the funnel into the reservoir. In another embodiment, a lid rests on or over an upper end of the reservoir and a hole is defined through the lid for receiving and supporting a wick, the wick being capable of extending through the hole of the lid into the reservoir. A channel is preferably defined which encircles the hole, the channel being capable of retaining a scented oil.

A device has a platform with an upward facing receptacle therein. A base supports the platform at a predetermined height and a fuel burning insert is removable retained in the upward facing receptacle by retention means affixed to the receptacle. The fuel burning insert provides for combustion of liquid fuel proximate the predetermined height of the platform. The fuel burning insert may be removed, exchanged, and refilled by a user without tools.

An evaporator burner for a mobile heating device is provided having a combustion chamber, an evaporator accommodation, and an evaporator element for evaporation of liquid fuel. The evaporator element is accommodated in the evaporator accommodation at the side facing the combustion chamber. At the side of the evaporator accommodation facing away from the combustion chamber, the evaporator burner comprises at least one combustion air guide element which is arranged such that a combustion air flow path extending at least along a portion of a base wall of the evaporator accommodation is formed between the combustion air guide element and the base wall of the evaporator accommodation.

Disclosed are apparatuses and corresponding and/or associated methodologies for sustainable (refillable) candles. This technology relates to refurbishing a used candle jar or container, so that its depleted wick and/or wax components are exchanged for replacement wick and wax components, so that the candle jar can be reused instead of being thrown out. An end of the wick is associated with an anchor or insert (such as a centering or positioning heat-resistant disc, removable silicone (or other materials) tray, or other). The replacement wick is physically held straight up and held in place by replacement scented wax beads, pellets, or the like poured into the jar. Burning of the wick melts and consumes the wax as it goes. After the wax and wick are exhausted, the insert and any remaining wax and other debris are removed from the jar in preparation for another refurbishment cycle. The insert is cleaned as needed for reuse with a new replacement wick.
