Product Information
Full details
The Pintail Candles Large 3-Wick Scented Tin Candle in Log Fire is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to cultivate a cozy, hearth-like atmosphere through scent. Its primary strength lies in its three-wick design, which provides an even melt pool and robust fragrance throw, though users should be mindful that its 35-hour burn time is shorter than some larger jar alternatives. Hand-poured in the Lake District, this candle combines notes of smokey incense, cedar wood, earthy moss, and dark amber to mimic the sensory experience of a crackling log fire.

FAQs
How long will the candle burn?
This candle offers a burn time of up to 35 hours when used according to care instructions.
Does the tin get hot?
Yes, the metal tin will get hot during use; always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface and allow it to cool before touching.
Can I leave all three wicks burning at once?
Yes, the candle is designed to have all three wicks lit simultaneously to provide the intended scent throw and even wax melt.
Where is this candle made?
The candles are hand-poured in the Lake District.
How can I prevent soot?
Keep wicks trimmed to 5mm and avoid placing the candle in a drafty area.
Troubleshooting
The candle is tunneling (wax is left on the sides).
Ensure you burn the candle for 2-3 hours during each use so the melt pool reaches the edges of the tin.
Excessive smoke or black soot.
Your wicks are likely too long; extinguish the candle, let it cool, trim the wicks to 5mm, and relight.
One or more wicks have drowned in the wax.
Carefully soak up some excess melted wax with a paper towel or cotton swab to expose the wick tips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety and longevity, place your candle on a heat-resistant, stable surface away from drafts, curtains, or other flammable materials. Always trim the three wicks to approximately 5mm before each burn to prevent excessive smoke and soot. Keep the wax pool free of debris, such as wick trimmings or matches. Given the tin housing, ensure the container has cooled completely before attempting to move it after use. To extinguish, use a proper snuffer to prevent hot wax splattering.
