brilliant conversation piece at your outdoor party, barbecue, wedding, camping trip – in fact any time you're outside and want to impress! Also excellent to line a long path or driveway. Perfect year-round. This candle log will burn like a giant outside torch for up to 3 hours. Simply light the wick and enjoy the atmosphere created by the combination of burning candle wax and wood (with the bonus of very little smoke). Once near the bottom of the log, the candle should automatically extinguish.Stand the log on a fire-proof plate/bowl/slab or maybe in a pot of sand or in a metal brazier. Can also be placed directly on the ground (in a safe place of course and where it can't do any damage!) or perhaps stand it in the sand on the beach for an instant beach fire!
