Bunsen burners are preferred over candles or fires because the Bunsen burner produces a much higher temperature (noted by the blue flame) and it is much easier to contain/control a Bunsen Burner flame.

The bunsen burner is used to heat items for experiments using a controllable temperature flame and surface area at which the heat is applied to the vessel.
how to be safe using a Bunsen Burner:1. never leave the flame unattended... especially when on the blue flame.2. always wear safety glasses.3. don't heat up anything metal because they will get very hot.4. don't let young children near the Bunsen burner when it's on.5. always have someone watch it.6. turn the gas off immediately when the flame goes out.
It is less hot
Step one: Place the Bunsen burner on a heat proof mat Step two: Check that the rubber tubing is connected properly to the Bunsen burner and the gas tap. step 3: ensure that the air hole is closed Step 4: Light the math Step 5: Open the gas tap Step 6: Hold the burning math over the barrel. Make sure your hand is not in the passage of the flame.

By using the correct ratio of oxygen and fuel mixture. Opening the air hole in the Bunsen burner increase the oxygen which helps the flame burner hotter .
The Bunsen burner uses an ope flame, making it easier for the alcohol to ignite.
The bunsen burner is used to heat items for experiments using a controllable temperature flame and surface area at which the heat is applied to the vessel.
There will be a valve at the bottom of the Bunsen burner. Using a rubber tubing connect the valve to the regulator of the LPG cylinder.
Blowing out a Bunsen burner like a candle can be dangerous because Bunsen burners use gas as fuel, which can continue to flow after the flame is extinguished. If you blow out a Bunsen burner, the gas may still be present and could ignite, causing a fire or explosion. It is safer to turn off the gas supply at the source or use the built-in flame adjuster to extinguish the flame on a Bunsen burner.
contaminates will be less likely to drip inside the burner this way
The time it takes to melt sodium chloride using a Bunsen burner can vary based on factors such as the heat intensity of the burner, the amount of sodium chloride being melted, and the starting temperature of the salt. Generally, it may take a few minutes to melt sodium chloride completely using a Bunsen burner.
A candle burner, also known as a candle warmer is an electric warmer that melts a candle to release its scent. The advantages of using a candle warmers is the soot that often results from burning wax.
The flame on a Bunsen burner should be blue when not in use. If the flame is yellow, it may indicate a problem with the burner, such as not enough air mixing with the gas, which can be a safety hazard.
The base of a Bunsen burner is usually broad and heavy to provide stability and prevent it from tipping over during use. This helps ensure the safety of the person using the Bunsen burner and prevents accidents.
It is important to always ensure that the bunsen burner flame is turned off when not in use to prevent accidents and fires. Additionally, make sure that the bunsen burner is securely positioned on a heat-resistant surface and that there are no flammable materials nearby to prevent potential hazards.
