Reading the review above is not exactly going to give an accurate picture of this awesome candle. First, as with most candles, the wick needs to be trimmed to a length somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch. I usually keep it trimmed to about 1/4 and have never experienced a smoking problem, nor a high flame problem. Not sure about the wax sloshing issue — I don’t make a habit of picking up lighted candles.

This candle (not this particular scent, however) was a gift from a friend, and is absolutely our new favorite kind of candle. The scents are strong enough to fill up about 1600 sq. feet, but not so strong that it seems overpowering. The wood wick truly does crackle as if you have a small fire going, so it’s great for people that live in a part of the country where it just won’t get cold enough to have a fire in the fireplace.

I **highly** recommend this candle. I’m giving one to everyone I know for Christmas this year.

Different and interesting!, October 22, 2007

This is such an interesting concept for a candle! The real wood wick makes small crackling noises like a real fire. The vanilla bean fragrance spreads quickly but isn’t overwhelming. My only warning is to take the instructions seriously: make sure you have 3-4 hours to burn this candle each time. On my second use, I blew it out after an hour and it was very difficult to get started the next time. The wick would just fizzle out after a couple of minutes. If you run into this problem, scrape a little of the wax away from around the wick and be persistent. It’ll come back to life.

This is the coolest candle I’ve ever seen. It really does smell like a fireplace. After I’ve used it, left the house and come back, it still has a little smell as though we really do have a fireplace. The wood wick is really cool because it makes the flame wider, and it really does crackle like a fire (but it’s not super loud so it won’t be annoying). This candle would make a great gift for a guy to!
