Coleman Citronella Tin Bucket Outdoor Candle — 11 oz, Triple-Wick
Review
What’s included: a single 11 oz citronella-scented candle seated in a decorative metal bucket. The candle features three wicks to promote an even, steady burn and extends outdoor enjoyment for many hours.
Materials and finish: the candle is housed in a durable tin bucket with options in a sleek black or a brushed nickel-style exterior. The metal container is designed for outdoor conditions, offers a stable base for the candle, and can be reused or recycled when empty.
Performance and use: the triple-wick design helps deliver consistent heat distribution and a broader light. Rated for up to 25 hours of combined burn time under normal conditions, it’s intended for patios, backyards, camping trips, RV use, and general outdoor entertaining. The citronella scent provides an aromatic barrier that helps deter mosquitoes and other small flying insects during evening gatherings.
Sustainability and care: the metal bucket is recyclable and built for repeated use. For best results, place the candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface and shelter it from strong wind. Monitor during use and allow the wax to cool fully before handling or storing the container.

Effective but melts fast
Scent repelled mosquitoes and gnats, but much of the wax liquefied in a few hours. Still effective.
