A candle with an embedded item and methods for manufacturing same are disclosed. A method for manufacturing a candle having an embedded item can include providing a first set of items of a first value and a second set of items of a second value different from the first value, combining the two sets to create a third set, and distributing the items of the third set among a set of candles, one item per candle, where the presence, nature, or value of the item within the candle is obscured. The method can further include selling the candles for a first price, wherein, the presence of the embedded item, the nature of the embedded item, the value of the embedded item, or the value of the embedded item relative to the first price is not known to the purchaser. The embedded item can comprise an object redeemable for a prize.

The present invention provides a fuel cell cap that includes a flanged edge region in which a gasket is positioned, and which is adapted to be sealingly fit over the edge of fuel cell and successive heat energy transmitting sections that concentrate the heat energy for ultimate emission. A dome-shaped first region is integral with and positioned radially inward from the flanged edge region followed by a first stack region of cylindrical cross-sectional shape that is integral with and extending upwardly from the dome-shaped first region. Next, a second stack region of cylindrical cross-section shape extends upwardly from the first stack region and is of a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. Finally, an inwardly tapering region extends upwardly from the second stack region and emits the heat energy from the cap.

A liquid fuel stove comprising: a container, a base, a relief pipe, a control flame pipe, an adjustment structure, and multiple combustion structures; wherein the container is configured to accommodate liquid fuel and comprising an opening defined on a top thereof, the base is connectable with the container, preferable inside the opening, the control flame pipe and the multiple combustion structures are mounted in the base, the multiple combustion structures are arranged around the control flame pipe, a bottom of the control flame pipe extends inside the container, a top of the control flame pipe extends above the base, and the control flame pipe comprising a heat connection part formed on a top thereof, the control flame pipe further comprising multiple primary vapor orifices passing through a wall of the control flame pipe and located between a top of the base and the heat connection part.

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, a proximity sensor to sense a distance between an object and the living flame, a self-extinguisher, and a control system configured to, upon determining the distance between the object and the living flame is unsafe, control the self-extinguisher to extinguish the living flame.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe materials and methods for stabilizing a flame of a container candle including an adjustable candle topper comprising a topper body capable of being seated over the mouth of a container candle and defining a cavity above the surface of the candle, the topper body having: (1) a centrally disposed opening, and (2) a plurality of radially-disposed guide members extending from the opening to the perimeter of the topper body; and a plurality of adjustment assemblies, each adjustment assembly comprising an abutment member supporting an airflow baffle configured to project into the cavity above the surface of the candle, wherein at least one adjustment assembly is mounted for sliding movement on one of the guide members, whereby the position of the airflow baffle can be adjusted relative to the central opening by sliding the adjustment assembly along the guide member.
