Abstract
A candle holder apparatus for housing a candle and a method for using such a device, the candle holder apparatus comprising a body having an open top, at least one body wall, and a cavity configured to house a candle. The candle holder further comprises a heat deflecting shield and a cover having a recess configured to house the heat deflecting shield. The heat deflecting shield is seated in the cover recess such that an air gap is formed between the heat deflecting shield and an inner surface of the cover. This air gap insulates and decreases the top surface temperatures of the cover, allowing a user to touch the cover without being burned. Further, the candle holder cover is configured to fit on the open top of the candle holder body. Vent openings are disposed in the wall of the candle holder body to permit airflow between the cavity and the exterior when the cover is atop the body.
