Why couldn't you put a candle inside it? I don't see why one couldn't use it with a tiny fire inside and melt scented wax in the tiny pot.

Actually you can put tea light candles inside! It's actually pretty amazing because I actually tried cooking with the stove and it works! A small flame is actually safe for the mini pot because it's just like any cast iron pan, you can also bake in it. :)

Possibly? I would test that hypothesis on a non flamable surface first, because the entire stove will probably get to hot for safe, long turn use.

You can do as you like , but it is a scale model. They didn't design it to burn anything, and the surfaces that you may choose for the wax melting are very porous and wouldn't clean well. Glass and ceramic candle holders are smooth to aid the owner in keeping the item clean, this stove surface is VERY porous, it will never clean wax well or at all. Burning and cleaning were never part of this items design, proceed at your own risk.

That sounds a little sketchy...this is a neat scale model and I have several in the series and love them, but I think the carbon content in the steel is VERY high since it was not made for functional use it did not have to meet regulations associated with that and the steel is brittle indicating high carbon and possibility of burning - I have accidently chipped one. The "black" is not a natural surface from adonization or heat treating, it is coated on to give it that look, from what I can tell. I think you would ruin it if you expose it to flames or high T. Neat thought though! Wish we could!

I wouldn't as I don't think it was intended to be used in that way. It's truly an adorable little piece that I think is more for "show" rather than "use". ( :

I'm not sure, but my personal opinion is I don't see how there possibly could be. This would probably be used outdoors with the only energy being the sun. If used indoors there would have to be ample sun for it to work and again I don't see how it would be possible for a tiny solar panel to be a fire hazard. I'm more concerned about candles, incense etc. being real fire hazards than this very tiny solar panel. Ours quit working after not even two months, poor quality for sure. Hope this answers your query.

Insulation for some reason.I only know stove won't work with it in. So I took it out, and stove is now terrific. Couldn't even light a fire with it in.

I'm not sure how long you intend to let it sit on the warmer I don't recall my candle warmer ever getting that hot. I heat my pot daily in the microwave, so although somewhat delicate it can handle some heat I would think. I hope that helps...

I don't see why not, just make sure you use a tealight and trim the wick... i didn't have tealights when i first got it and tried to use a small candle and it just made the pot all sooty and went out.

If you have an enormous fireplace...otherwise there us no physical limitation preventing its use except the quality of the chain used to hold the pot....

Upon arrival of mine, the wax in the bottom was like a "Hockey Puck". I plugged the lamp in and within 4 hours the wax had melted and everything seemed to working perfectly. If your wax never melted, I think you should contact your place of purchase.

Its in a plastic container that may not hold up in the oven. But maybe in a pot on the stove? It takes a while for the wax to melt in my low watt microwave but it is probably possible on the stove. It would be a pain though.

What a good idea! I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Maybe make a small candle first and see how it works, before you make a large one? I think it would smell wonderful.

If it was me, I would look at the trangia triangle stand (or a proper wood burning stove), its roughly the same overall size but the 'floor /plate' does have holes in it better for the fire to breathe... and at the correct height for the flame. Agree with others that its small and no way to feed the fire when the pot on top.

No, sorry, the bottom is domed so to fit in a holder to melt scented wax. The wax won't spill. Try a petri dish, or a soap dish.

Do you mean candle/flame or a heating plate? You should check with the manufacturer. I would imagine its safe to use on a warming plate/tray, but I would put a potholder or a piece of wool felt between the pot and the glass heating surface, if there's a chance of it getting too hot. That's what I do for a large tea party or gathering. I wouldn't use a flame under my teapot without checking with the manufacturer.

hi Katy - No! Never put wax directly on the heat! It is too volatile, and can catch fire that way. Recommended - either get a double boiler, or use an available adapter to make an existing pot the bottom part. Also recommended - candle-making thermometer to make sure your temps are okay, and a beginning candle-making book.

I can't see why not, it's essentially a large metal pot for burning so I suspect that any material you could set flame to would burn just fine.

I don't think so because the mold is very thin and deep and not flexible. It's hard plastic so it would probably be hard to get the wax out. I have to admit I'm wildly curious as to why you'd want a candle in the shape of a popsicle! But I think I would look for something made of silicone so you'd have some flexibility to it to get the wax out after out was hard.

No, I would not put a flame candle in these... we hung small led lights with fishing wire in them and it worked great.

I don't see why not, I use it in my scentsy pot, heated aroma plug in, and witchhazel. Pretty safe I think ;)
