Sulfur powder has a low flammability rating. It can be compared to wood in terms of flammability. When burned, it creates sulfur dioxide, a poisonous gas which can cause harm to animals and may also cause many health hazards if burned in large quantities (acid rain is one of them). In the old days, people used to burn sulfur powder to remove pests and clean out fields. This is not really done anymore and it is strongly recommended to not burn it anywhere near where people live because of the health hazard. Sulfur candles used to be widely available for burning sulfur. The candles were a mixture of sulfur and other ingredients to help it burn, Note that pure solid sulfur powder does not burn easily because it requires a lot of oxygen to get a nice blue flame. The only way to make it burn well is to mix it well into the air. This can be done with a specially made sulfur burner. We do not recommend burning sulfur powder and are not responsible for any damages to anything or anyone by doing so.
