Subject: Does the temperature of jar affect how long it will take to burn out candle

My son wanted to know if freezing and heating a jar would affect how long it 
would take to burn out a candle when placed over it.  The jars are exactly the 
same size.  We thought the frozen jar would cause the candle to burn faster 
because the air was colder and the molecules would be closer together. Instead 
when we heated the exact size jar and placed it over the candle it burned out 
twice as fast.  Why?
