How to burn scented candles with a wooden wick?

Burning scented candles with a wooden wick differs slightly from traditional cotton wicks and requires following a few rules to ensure a beautiful crackle and an even burn. Before every light, you should remove the charred top part of the wick so that it stands about 3–4 mm above the wax surface. If the wick is left too long, the candle may smoke or extinguish itself because the wax cannot properly reach the flame. To trim it, you can use a dedicated wick trimmer or simply snap off
the charred bits with your fingers once the candle is cold.
