Before You Light — First Burn Matters

Trim the wooden wick to about ⅛" (3 mm) before the first burn. You can gently pinch off the charred bits between your fingers or use wick trimmers.

Burn for 2–3 hours on the first light to create a full melt pool and prevent tunneling.

Always place your candle on a heat-safe surface and keep it away from drafts, children, and pets.

Wooden Wick Tips

Wooden wicks burn differently than cotton: they produce a soft crackle and a low, smoldering flame.

If your flame appears weak, extinguish it, trim off the charred wood, and relight. A too-long wick can smother the flame.

Allow wax to melt fully across the surface before extinguishing to promote even burning.
