How To Burn a Pillar Candle

- Always burn pillar candles on an appropriate plate or holder, as well as on a protected, non-combustible, heat-resistant surface.

- Pillar candles are designed to burn cleanly and evenly. If burned properly, the candle should self consume.

- Pillar candles need to burn 3 to 6 hours the first time they are burned. This will allow burning to the edge of the candle and will create an illuminating well. After that, burn for three to four hours at a time. This process allows for an accumulation of heat to melt across the surface of the candle and provide even burning throughout the life of the candle.
