A fuel-burning device includes a container defining a receptacle and having an opening which is at an end of the receptacle. The opening has a first width. The fuel-burning device also includes a fixing mechanism mounted in the container through a fixing member. The fixing member has an end resiliently fixed on a periphery of the receptacle. The fixing member is radially compressible. When the fixing member is not compressed, the end thereof has a second width which is greater than the first width. The end of the fixing member is compressible to a third width which is smaller than the first width.

A catalytic combustion burner made of porous material and a bottle equipped with such a burner have an optimized operating performance, which enables the burner to withstand and not be extinguished when it is subjected to strong air currents such as air conditioning.

Disclosed are candles having a wick, a wax composition, and a gel composition, wherein the wax composition encloses the wick, and the wick is separated from the gel composition. The candle while being burned exhibits one or more desirable properties, such as reduced levels of soot or reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

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 refillable torch canister includes a container having top which includes a fill opening and a cover including a fill opening which can be axially aligned with the fill opening of the top to permit insertion of fuel therethrough, and which can be moved so the fill openings are out of alignment precluding fluid to pass therethrough. Also, included is a pre-filled fuel container having spout with a complementary configuration to be received within the fill openings.
