Do sulfur candles emit enough heat to set off a home smoke detector or fire alarm?
Home smoke detectors generally respond to smoke, or products of combustion more readily than heat. Unless the candle was placed directly under the detector, it is unlikely to produce enough heat to trip a heat element. It is very possible though, that it could give off enough combustion products to set off the smoke detector.
