To ensure the best candle burning experience, be sure to trim the wick to 1/8” before each new burn. Pinch off the blackened wick tip before lighting. The crackling wood wicks will not stay lit if wick is not trimmed between each use! Always allow the candle to reach a full melt pool, where wax has melted to all edges and melt pool is about a quarter inch deep. Do not burn longer than 4 hrs at a time. Make sure to put flame out with care, do not use water.
Do not ever leave wick trimmings or matches in the melt pool. Make sure to burn on a heat resistant surface and do not leave unattended. Do not pick up or handle candle while burning - it will be HOT! Once the candle has less than 1/4 inch of wax left please discontinue use. You can clean out your container and use it however you'd like :)
