dumb candle question

OK, I figure that most of us here probably go through a lot of candles so maybe someone can answer my question.

I burn Yankee candles, which are a bit pricey. For whatever reason, they don't seem to burn evenly -- it kinda burns in a tunnel, so that by the time the wick is down to the bare metal, there's still a TON of wax on the sides.

So I guess I have two questions --

1) Is there a way to get it to melt evenly when it burns? (I burn the small votives -- I have tried different-shaped votive holders.)

2) Is there anything I can do with all this leftover wax? I generally burn a wide assortment, so I can't really just melt it all together. Well, I could, but something about Buttercream + Cranberry Chutney + Fresh Peach just makes my stomach heave.
