Enjoy a cleaner burn, better scent throw, and longer candle life.
Why Your First Burn Matters:
Let your candle melt all the way to the rim of the jar during the initial burn—this may take a few hours. Allowing the wax to fully liquefy across the top helps the candle remember how to melt in the future and prevents tunneling along the sides. When a candle tunnels, you lose usable wax and dramatically shorten its overall burn time.
Keep Your Wick Short:
For optimal performance, wooden wicks should be kept nice and short. For an even, steady flame, aim to keep the wick around ¼ inch in height.
This means you’ll want to give your wick a quick trim from time to time. After the initial burn, it’s a good habit to trim the wick before each lighting to maintain a clean, consistent burn.
How Long to Burn Your Candle:
Avoid burning your candle for longer than four hours in a single session. Limiting burn time helps maintain the quality of the scent and ensures a safer burn overall.
Wooden wicks naturally burn lower & slower
Customers sometimes think a smaller flame means something is wrong—but that’s normal.
Wood wicks create:
-
A shorter flame
-
Slower burn
-
More even melt pool
-
A soft crackle
