Usually oxygen, primarily because it is how fire is made. But for longer, there isn't a possible way to make it burn 'longer' with gas, but more rather use wax and string that are more durable to fire. Or alternatively you can put a plant near the fire (out of burning range) to give the fire as much oxygen as possible.
hope it helps
