What Should I Do If My Candle Smokes?

A well-made candle will create virtually no
smoke when burning properly. However,
noticeable smoking will occur whenever
a candle's flames is disturbed, which allows
minute particles of unburned carbon (soot)
to escape from the flame.

Any candle, regardless of formulation or
wax type, can be made to smoke by causing
the flame to flicker.To minimize flickering,
trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting, and
place burning candles away from vents, drafts
and other strong air currents. If a candle continues
to significantly flicker or noticeably smoke,
it should be extinguished. Allow it to cool,
trim the wick, check for drafts, and then
re-light.
