Loved by hundreds. Hated by mosquitoes. Made for the outdoors.
BRAND STORY
It started with a tip from a friend: dry out your used coffee grounds and burn them to keep mosquitoes away. We tried it and quickly hit every problem you can imagine. Wet grounds molded; drying them out made the whole house smell, and burning fresh coffee was wasteful and expensive.

The mosquito on top isn't thrilled about any of these answers.
Each jar burns for approximately 6-8 hours on a single fill, depending on airflow. That's enough for a full evening on the porch.
Yes — it's a natural citronella blend with no synthetic sprays or chemicals. Keep it out of reach while lit, same as any open flame.
Remove the lid, light the surface of the blend directly, and let it smolder — no wick needed. Place it upwind of where you're sitting for best coverage.
The smoke carries citronella oil through the air, which disrupts how mosquitoes track you — most customers see a noticeable drop in bites within minutes of lighting it.
