Outdoor candles are commonly found in Scandinavia,{{Cite web|url=https://www.scandinavian-south.com/garden_torch_holder.html|title=Garden Torches|website=www.scandinavian-south.com|access-date=2018-10-19}} and are used as an outdoor decoration in private gardens, graves or on the side of roads or paths. They are made from paraffin in a metal cup with a {{cvt|1|cm|spell=in}}-thick wick, which heats up to {{cvt|1000|C}}. Due to this heat, and the fact that they are designed to be weatherproof, they have to be properly snuffed out with a snuffer.
