Well, after a little digging and playing around It's a little better,
I still think it looks like a match...

Anyway I like the feedback from this group. Comments anyone?

That's getting there - however, the gaps in the lower flame look a little
odd.

Now try rendering with a white background ;)

I used this (with a small amout of success) for a torch in a dungeon scene

media {
      emission 0.5
      absorption 0.5
      intervals 1
      samples 1, 10
      confidence 0.9
      variance 1/1000
      method 3
      density {
       cylindrical
       turbulence 0.9
       color_map  {
         [0.0 color rgb <0, 0, 0>]
         [0.25 color rgb <1,1,0.1>]
         [0.5 color rgb <1,0.2,0.1>]
         [0.75 color rgbf <1,1,0.5,0.2>]
         [1.0 color rgbf <1,1,0.7,0.8>]
       }
       rotate 90*x
      }
    }

It's not fantastic. If you're using official pov remove the line
"method 3" and push the intervals up.

    It would look a lot less like a match if you put something in the scene
to give it scale.

	Some time back, I did this for a torch (since it was a
small part of the picture I didn't need more details and the
bad bottom of the flame wasn't an issue...)

I think it those colors are a bit oversaturated (?), but it's a nice shape!

Yeah, gee, Jerome's nice torch flame is going to be lost in another persons
thread.
Surprisingly simple flame for it to look so good (I saw the pov script).  I
think about half that height would be better though.
