(did u know a 70 y/o santa was fired because humming "ho ho ho" instead of the newly imposed "ha ha ha" in australia? 'cause said officials, "ho" is a "whore" in slang and could be offensive. Gaah).
Pyromaniacs, fire enthusiasts, pyro kids, etc. will certainly enjoy this one.
Fancy to turn these skittish candles into mighty braziers?

Is it the following you wish?
Notice the nice orange/reddish gradient on the wet stone.
I call that an Enhanced Candle. This upgraded version led me to the discovery of the Killer Candle.
1) How to make an Enhanced Candle?
Easy. One word to keep in mind: "capilarity".
Put (dead) matches on the wax surface. The radiating heat will make the wax melt faster - moreover, a "dead" match absorbs liquid wax and becomes a wick itself:
Resulting in:
- more wax burning
- gradually increasing heat
I mean searing heat: This will not only keep the wax liquid, but also will it bring it to a boiling state.
Tips & tricks!
It's cold outside! Using two candles to accelerate the process.
Now, you've got a decent Enhanced Candle.
2) Killer Candle: Discover the full potential of Enhanced Candles.
It's like Reactor-4: If not monitored closely enough, the mercury will keep rising. Tips to notice when the Enhanced Candle is ripe:
Dip a healthy match in the wax. Bubbles should appear around the dipped stretch of the match (it the water trapped within the wood).
Fumes are dancing at the surface.
These will not guarantee your Enhanced Candle is ready to unleash the Fire God, but well, it can be diagnosed as "ripe" and ready to receive some "season's greetings". you know, it's cold outside and slime crap slides from your nose in your throat. Liquid snot that is.
It works pretty well, but water from a glass will perform good as well.
But hey, confess: It's more funny to spit snot in the candle.
