Wooden Wicks

Wood wick candles offer more than aesthetic appeal. They bring performance advantages that set them apart:

• Distinctive Crackle: Get the signature sound of crackling wood wick candles—subtle, soothing, and reminiscent of a fireplace.
• Flat, Horizontal Flame: Unlike cotton wicks, wooden wicks create a wide flame that radiates heat evenly across the surface.
• Minimal Carbon Buildup: When trimmed and tested properly, these wicks minimize mushrooming and soot.
• Sustainable Materials: Sourced from natural wood and manufactured to meet safety standards, our wooden wicks align with eco-conscious practices.

To get the best crackle and cleanest burn, consider the following:

• Proper Wick Sizing: Match your wick width to your container diameter and wax type. Use our testing guide to dial it in.
• Trim to 1/8”: A short wick height supports a steady flame and prevents soot.
• Stick to Container Candles: Wooden wicks perform best in vessels designed to contain and direct heat.
• Mind Your Wax: Wood wick soy candles are popular, but these wicks also pair well with coconut, beeswax blends, and paraffin-free options. Always test burn for compatibility.

Choosing the right wick changes everything. Wooden wicks aren’t just a stylistic choice—they’re a performance-driven component of any well-crafted candle. They help create the signature look and feel that customers remember: a centered flame, a clean top layer, and that gentle pop and crackle.
