Wooden wick candles offer a cozy and distinctive ambiance with their crackling sound and flickering flame. They provide a sensory experience that sets them apart from regular candles.
Do I need to trim wooden wicks?
Yes, like cotton wicks, it's essential to trim wooden wicks before each use. Trim them to around 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the wax surface. This helps maintain a controlled flame and prevents excessive soot.
How do wooden wicks work?
Wooden wicks work through capillary action, drawing liquid wax up the wooden wick, where it's vaporized to create a consistent flame. The wick burns evenly from top to bottom.
