Without constantly watching the flame, there is no full-proof way to make candles burn evenly. Keeping them out of any drafts will help somewhat, and the cost of the candle is an important - and often overlooked - aspect. Cheap candles burn raggedly. High-quality candles burn much more evenly. Best of all are candles that are at least 50% beeswax - but those are very expensive, and hard to find. Still, they burn very, very slowly and evenly with little to no smoke.
