Wooden Wicks

Wooden Wicks

What to know about wooden wicks:
  1. Wooden wicks are made from a soft types of wood. The type of wax (we use 100 % soy wax) will determine the amount of crackle. Soy wax is very suited for wooden wicks which results in a nice crackling ambiance when lit. 
  2. The flame has to be in contact with the top of the candle. This is a very common issue, if the wick is too long that the flame will not stay lit. Just trim your wick to about ¼ " using a wick trimmer (available on our website https://mountainfoxfinds.myshopify.com/cart/45208773984539:1?channel=buy_button )
  3. Wooden wicks tent to produce less soot and don't "mushroom" like a traditional cotton wick. This means that they have a cleaner burn.
  4. Longer burn times are seen with wooden wicks because they burn at a slower rate compared to cotton wicks. This means that you'll have more time to enjoy your candle! 
  5. Wooden wicks are toxin free and do not contain lead or other toxins. Our wooden wicks are 100% wood so you can enjoy burning our candles without concerns of toxins. 
  6. We recommend trimming the burned part of your wick before lighting our candles each time. This will ensure an even burn with a correct size flame.
