Tips for Burning Candles Outdoors
Outdoor candle burning is a little different than inside, so here are a few tips to get the most out of your summer scents:
- Keep it sheltered. Wind is the enemy of a good burn. Tuck your candle in a lantern or find a spot that's protected from the breeze to keep the flame steady and the scent throw strong.
- Trim that wick. Always trim to ¼ inch before lighting. This goes double outdoors where conditions can cause uneven burns.
- Don't leave it unattended. Especially outside! Keep an eye on your candle and never leave it burning if you head inside for the night.
- Let it cool before moving. Hot wax + summer heat = a mess. Give your candle time to cool and solidify before picking it up.
