Once again I've been motivated to try something I had been putting off doing.
The recent candelabra Dennis McDaniel had done was why.  Want a look at my
candle flame pov script Dennis?  Uses 'method 2' in MegaPov, here it is
anyway:
// candle flame (scale could be difficult to change)
#declare CandleFlame=
 sphere {0,1.1
   pigment {rgbf 1}
        interior {
                media {method 2 intervals 2 samples 3,3
                absorption <.33,.5,.67>*2 emission <.33,.5,.67>*1.67
                scattering {2,<.75,.67,.5>*2 extinction .133}
                density {spherical turbulence <.1,.2,.15>*1.5
                        density_map {
                        [0 rgb 0][.15 rgb <1.5,1,.5>*3][.5 rgb
<1.25,.5,.75>*2][.7 rgb <0,.05,.5>*6]
                        } scale <.85,.9,.85> translate -.25*y}
                }
                media {method 2 intervals 2 samples 3,3
                absorption <.36,.33,.167>*3 emission <.25,.5,.75>*1.133
                scattering {1,<.25,.33,.75>*3 extinction .67}
                density {spherical turbulence <.1,.2,.15>*.5
                        density_map {
                        [0 rgb 0][.3 rgb <0,.05,1.15>*6]
                        } scale <.7,.3,.7> translate -.9*y}
                }
       }
  scale <.9,3,.9>*.25 rotate 45*y translate .225*y
 hollow
 }

Pretty bad writing huh, but then I try not to mess with success once something
works okay enough.
Back to the render.  For lack of a better name I call this thing a oil candle.
I forget what it was called when I bought it years ago.
Well, it's a flying saucer shaped oil lamp, clear glass upper and mirrored
lower, filled with blueberry scented lamp oil (forget it, no smell).  It
didn't render the way it really looks so I'm uncertain why that is just yet,
possibly because I went with the non-overlapping refractive objects method
instead of the overlap way.  Figured people might want a look-see anyhow.

That does look good, it'd be great as a full screen background.
I've saved your source for some detailed experimentation at a 
later date.
