Explanation of how wax burns from Howstuffworks
https://home.howstuffworks.com/question267.htm
Key excerpt - "Paraffin wax will burn on its own, but it is like cooking oil, motor oil and coal in that you have to get it very hot for combustion to begin. An oil fire is intense and very hard to put out. Paraffin is the same way. In a candle, this works great -- only the tiny amount of wax on the wick is hot enough to vaporize and burn."
