Recommended Burning Instructions

  • Beeswax is a very hard wax and burns very hot and slow. These candles should last you for a while. 
  • Wood wick is cut to appropriate height when new.  Make sure the wick is kept to about a 1/4" before lighting.  Too high and the flame can get smokey and a little wild, too low and it may suffocate in the pool of wax.  
  • Before relighting your candle each time, be sure to break off some of the previously burnt wick. This will help prevent smoking and assist in ideal flame height.
  • It is not uncommon to hear a soft crackling sound while burning, which is why wood wicks are so cool. Recommended burn time of at least 2 to 3 hours to avoid tunneling. 
  • Tunneling may occur initially until a big enough wax pool is made, and the glass begins to warm. 
  • Cracking in the wax near the wick is common due to the fast cooling time and hard nature of beeswax. 
  • Be patient when lighting. DO NOT extinguish with water.  DO NOT replace lid until candle has cooled completely. DO NOT BURN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS AT A TIME. Discontinue use if glass is broken or cracked. DO NOT BURN when candle has a 1/2" of wax or less.
