1. A candle comprising:
a combustion part (110) having a storage space of a predetermined volume formed therein and an open upper surface and having a fuel accommodation through-hole (111) formed in one side surface of a lower portion;
a wick support (120) having a columnar structure that is mounted to be attachable to and detachable from a bottom surface of a center of the storage space of the combustion part (110) and extends a predetermined height upward, having a through-hole (121) formed in one side surface of a lower portion, having a flow tube (122), in which a fuel fed through the through-hole (121) is able to flow upward due to capillary action, formed therein at a center of an inner portion to allow an upper surface and a lower surface to communicate with each other, and having a wick insertion hole (123) formed at a center of the upper surface to allow a candle wick (120a) to be mounted and communicate with the flow tube (122);
a storage part (130) having a storage space of a predetermined volume formed therein and an open upper surface and having a fuel supply through-hole (131) formed in one side surface of a lower portion;
a fuel supply communication part (140) mounted to allow communication between the fuel accommodation through-hole (111) of the combustion part (110) and the fuel supply through-hole (131) of the storage part (130); and
a fuel supply guide plate (150) having a plate-shaped structure that comes in contact with an inner side surface of the storage space of the storage part (130) and covers the open upper surface thereof, having a mesh-type structure in which a plurality of through-holes are formed, and made of a metal material that is heated by heat transferred to the storage part (130) and transfers heat to an upper surface of the fuel stored in the storage part (130),
wherein the combustion part (110), the wick support (120), the storage part (130), the fuel supply communication part (140), and the fuel supply guide plate (150) are made of a metal material that absorbs heat generated due to a flame burning the fuel while fixed due to the wick support (120) and transfers the heat to the combustion part (110), the fuel supply communication part (140), and the fuel stored in the storage part (130), and
wherein the bottom surface of the combustion part (110) has a structure that comes in contact with and is parallel to a ground on which the candle will be installed;
the fuel supply communication part (140) is mounted to have a structure that is inclined upward at an angle ranging from 5° to 60° based on the fuel accommodation through-hole (111) of the combustion part (110); and
a bottom surface of the storage part (130) is an inclined surface that continues from the inclined structure of the fuel supply communication part (140).
