Continental Candle White SolidCandles.  It is suggested you have a candle that is housed in plastic or glass.  This will keep the wind from blowing it out.  It will also help keep your hands warm, wax from being left on the ground, and reduce the fire hazard.  We suggest a "Tall White Religious Candle" for $1.19 from Albertsons (pictured) or other similar candle.  Then you can reuse it.
