Could these be stored in a vehicle in Phoenix, AZ or do they melt as easily as a normal wax candle?

Yes they can be stored in excess of 105 F. I keep mine in the garage here in San Antonio and have had my last package out there for 2 years. I'm almost out and plan on getting 6 more as soon as I finish this. They work well and I would recommend them to a friend. Use them on my Big Green Egg smoker, and my Weber grill. One cube works well to start any kind of charcoal, lump or briquettes, and has the fire going well in less than 20 minutes. If in a rush, I use 2 cubes.

I haven't stored mine in the heat, but I have had some that arrived melted together. It didn't impact the performance though.

I have mine stored outside in AZ. They don't melt but they do get a little soft. Sometimes they don't push out of the package so great when they are soft but other than that they are good.

They are kinda different than wax...different consistency....so would lean toward "probably"...also, I break them by hand down to 2-3 pieces to make them go further...work fine that way. (I keep them in my garage and gets up into the 100's during summer months with no change in them...)

Good Day Mr. Taylor, I live in Tacoma, WA and we do not experience the temperatures you do in Arizona. My guess is that they would do just fine and you would have no problem. I would recommend purchasing just on package and see what happens. That way your not out a lot of money and you can keep them in a cooler place at home and use them on the Barbie there. Hope that helps you and wishing you the very best of the holidays.

They would probably be OK for a short time in the freezer, maybe 1 or 2 days. These wax bags do not seal, so the air may get in and cause freezer - burn.

They are wax and can be used anywhere. I would not leave them outdoors overnight or during inclimate weather. Also keep out of direct sunlight so they don't melt.

Its pretty rigid but if you used a strong lubricant like shortening I am sure they would come out but you candle would look like a fudgesicke with some indents on the sides which could be considered decorative I guess. So yes. If you used a spray cooking oil I would be concerned about the hot wax disolving the oil which would mean you would have to put the mold in some boiling or very hot water to loosen them. Good Luck sounds like it could be a nice project.

No. As I recall, they were shipped in a priority mail box.I had no problem with them being melted. Order when the weather is cool.

No longer than 6 months. After 6 months they should be stored in wax paper in an air tight container.

These aren't wax candles. They are oil lamps. As long as they are stored sealed, at room temperature, and in a dark place, the shelf life should be about 7-10 years. I think it is obvious you do not want to store these in direct sunlight, or anywhere that would be too hot, and for that matter, too cold. We store them in the top shelf in our laundry room.

No. I live in Texas (the Dallas/Fort Worth area). I've had them though out the summer. No melting.

Yes. They come with small candles that will melt into the holders. I usetealights in tin in the holders all the time. That cuts down on the melted wax mess. Enjoy!

They should be ok vacuum sealed. Maybe store them in the fridge or freezer. I keep mine in their original packaging in my pantry and have not had any problems with melting. And I keep my home pretty warm. The only concern would be if there is an ingredient that would go rancid and make you sick. But I don't see anything just glancing at it, that stands out as a problem there.

Keep them in a tightly lidded jar - a dry place. That's not difficult here in Arizona. Hope this helps.

Didn't melt for me in the AZ summer, but I also didn't leave it on the dash out in the sun without a sunshade on my windshield all day long. I keep it in my center console and place it on the dash when needed, takes 3 seconds and I believe that it extends the life of my investment. I would imagine that if you left it permanently on the dash under the sun the rubber would harden and loose it's "stickyness" within a couple of months which would render it useless, and yeah it may even melt but I am just speculating.

Indoor storage only. And they are fantastic in a fire pit. Just get a good hot base going first. A lovely aroma will surround you.

depends on the bulbs. heat lamp black lights will melt it. im using compact florescents that dont produce much heat. i would side on caution and say it would melt it

The products do ship from Arizona, however the temperatures do not bother the stability of the peel for the amount of time it is exposed. for long term storage however it should be kept at room temperature.

I actually returned this because it was much larger than what i was looking for. However, I would think it would melt wax nicely.

Sorry, didn't answer your question of wether or not they can be used outdoors. I would say yes. I don't use them where I live because of the heat here. The wax would melt in the summer.
