2x3" Pillar: 30-35 hrs
2x4" Pillar: 40-45 hrs
2x6" Pillar: 55-60 hrs
2x9" pillar: 85-90 hrs
*2" Diameter pillars are very slender; about the width of a votive. we recommend no more than 2-3 hours per burn session. extra caution should be taken to ensure stability, as the taller, more slender candles can topple easily when bumped. a method to secure them should be used. keep wick trimmed to no more than 1/4". Burn on
non-flammable receptacle or pillar plate.

3x3" pillar: 40-50 hrs
3x6" pillar: 90-100 hrs
3x9" pillar: 140-150 hrs
*Our 3" diameter pillars are our most popular amongst events coordinators, brides-to-be and restaurants. This line is the work-horse of parties, wedding receptions and is most preferred for home decor. for this reason, this line is extra long burning when 4+ hrs of constant burning is desired. burn on non-flammable receptacle or pillar plate.

4x4" pillar: 110-125 hrs
4x6" pillar: 145-160 hrs
*our 4" diameter pillars are made for extra, extra long burn times. at that, this candle will leave a shell. Meant more for "marathon burning", if you tend to only burn candles for short periods of time, this candle is not recommended. burn on non-flammable receptacle or pillar plate.

tapered votives 1.75" wide x 2" tall: 12-15 hrs
*our hand-made votives are meant to be burned in a straight-sided glass votive cup for optimum use. As votives liquefy, they cannot be burned free-standing. keep wicks trimmed to no more than 1/4". we recommend 2-3 hr per burn session. If longer burn sessions are used, be mindful of wick (keep trimmed and straightened if needed).

It should be understood that all candles must be attended while burning. They do require occasional maintenance and proper care. Burning candles in a draft can cause smoking and uneven burn. Consistent or frequent drafts may also cause dripping & side "blow-outs".

Wick maintenance: Most candles' wicks should be trimmed occasionally to ensure a slower, more consistent burn. We recommend 1/4". An overly large wick can smoke and create more heat, causing the candle to burn improperly.

Be sure that wherever you choose to burn your candles is free of closely set flammable materials. This includes decorations that you might want to set near your candle. Be mindful of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended!

Candle-scaping (arranging various sizes of pillars in close proximity) can be beautiful, but it must be done safely. We advise test-burning your design scape first, to make sure that the proximity of the lit candles will not effect each other. Too close, and the shorter candles will melt the taller ones near-by.  If you can place your hand between the candles and feel heat, move candles further apart. Be mindful of drafts that can cause candles to drip and burn unevenly. Though it looks more interesting to use smaller and larger diameter candles together, keep in mind that the more slender candles will need more attention and less burn time than the larger candles.

Burning candles in a "hurricane" may cause candle to burn at a faster rate, due to trapped heat. We recommend our larger diameter 3" line for burning in this type of receptacle if longer burn times are desired.
