The wick creates a horizontal flame that produces more heat into the candle quicker. However, they do require a tiny bit more maintenance than cotton wick candles.

Before lighting your candle for the first time, trim your Wood Wick. We recommend a Wick Trimmer. A nail clipper or wire cutter will also work but can produce a ragged edge.  A ragged trim will produce a less stable flame, so try to achieve a clean, straight cut.

This is the term used for burning a candle for longer than 4 hours. This is dangerous and we do not recommend it. Wood wick candles aren’t made for “light it and forget it” uses. Power burning will cause your candle vessel to overheat and the wick will produce black smoke.  You’ll see black soot build up on the side of the vessel.

Be mindful about where you place your candle to burn it. You’ll want to ensure it’s on a flat, heat safe surface and away from drafts, pets and children. 1) Trim your wick  2) Burn for three hours on first burn  3) Trim your wick  4) Never burn for more than four hours  5) Trim your wick!
