I tried this

#declare Flame=interior{
   media {
      // (---general values---)
      intervals 10           // number of intervals used for sampling [10]
      samples 1,1            // minimum and maximum number of samples taken
per interval [1,1]
      confidence 0.9         // statistic parameter higher->better quality
[0.9]
      variance 1.0/128       // statistic parameter lower->better quality
[1.0/128]
      ratio 0.9              // distribution between lit and unlit areas
[0.9]
      // (---media types---)
      emission rgb<1,.8,.8>  // emitting media, emit light of specified
color
      // (---method---)
      method 3               // adaptive sampling
      density{cylindrical scale 1.2 }
      density{cylindrical scale 1.1 }
      density{cylindrical}
      density{crackle turbulence 3 scale <1,10,1>}
   }


and then I tried

... interior{Flame} in my object...

    It didn't work... why?  It works for pigments, textures, normals...

Information about *how* it "didn't work" is very useful in trying to
determine someone's problem. Specifically,

 - Was there a parsing error? What was it? What line was it on?
 - Did the scene parse but have unexpected output? What did you expect and
what was the actual output?

After adding a closing bracket to the end of the interior block in your
code, the code works fine for me. Make sure your enclosing object has a
transparent surface and that it is "hollow."

By the way: I believe confidence and variance have no effect with media
method 3. With method 3, the important parameters are intervals, samples,
aa_level and aa_threshold.

Oh, crap - missing bracket?  MISSING BRACKET?  Sometimes I just don't know....
