[quote:Anonymous Coward 11696035:MV8xOTc1MDUxXzMzMjEzOTQyX0RDRkNDMTQx] The candles would melt faster than the wicks can feed fuel and the temperature would bring up the wax to combustion temperature and then your house would be around 3000F for a few hours. The rubble will still be hot so wait a few days before going back on your house. Notice I did not say in. [/quote]
Original Message
The living-room is big enough that,
1 million candles fit with adequate ventilation.
Also, the flame temperature of 1 candle is about 1,000 °C
What temperature would my living room be with a million candles lit?
