The Log Candle F.A.Q's...
Light all the wicks. No need to add any wax pieces at first.
Once the wicks are lit, add a small piece of wax next to the center wick to keep the fire going. Add additional wax pieces after the other wax has completely melted into the log.
Wax pieces placed on top of the burning log, melt to saturate the wood and wicks. As the wax melts and burns, it provides a pleasant controlled burn.
The wicks are still there, they’re just level with the top.
To help start a fire, place a small piece of wax on top of The Log Candle, and start a small fire near the piece of wax. As the fire melts the wax (~2-3 minutes), it should become a nice fire.
(Remember to protect the small flame from the wind)
Yes, it can sometimes be difficult to start with a lighter.
Using a butane torch or lighter is much easier.
We DO NOT recommend using a normal-sized lighter.
Just place the top on The Log Candle, and it will quickly go out.
DO NOT USE WATER!
Just 1 or 2 pieces will do just fine.
Over-stacking the log with wax will cause wax to overflow and burn divots in the edge, which will get worse and make the edges of the log uneven and the lid will not close well.
(short answer: max 2-3 pieces; depending on size of wax pieces)
This can happen after a while of burning, and overloading it with wax, which overflows and burns the edge.
You can slowly fix the uneven edges by melting small pieces on the high points of the log.
