I once headbutted a cheap UCO copy hanging in my tent which spilt molten wax down my face, ear and a brand new Berghaus fleece I'd just bought. It was a daft design with huge vents round the bottom and as soon as the tea light tilted it all came pouring out.

The paraffin burner bit is naff but the candle bit works great and you can load tea lights into it instead of candles.
