Benefits of wood wicks in your candle

Candles are more than just fragrance—they set the mood, add warmth, and make a house feel like a home. But did you know the type of wick in your candle can completely change your burning experience?

At Southern Rustic Flame Candle Co., we exclusively use wooden wicks in our candles for good reason. Here are the top 5 benefits of wooden wick candles—and why they’re worth the switch.

1. They Create a Cozy, Crackling Sound

Wooden wicks burn with a soft crackle that’s reminiscent of a fireplace. This soothing sound instantly elevates the atmosphere in your home, making it the perfect candle for relaxing evenings and cozy nights in.

2. They Burn Cleaner Than Traditional Wicks

Unlike many cotton wicks, wooden wicks produce minimal soot and smoke when properly trimmed. This means a cleaner burn for your air quality and your candle jars.

3. They Burn Evenly & Last Longer

Wooden wicks help candles burn evenly from edge to edge, reducing tunneling and wasted wax. When paired with our premium coconut apricot wax, you’ll enjoy a longer-lasting candle and better value for your money.

4. They’re Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Our wooden wicks are made from natural, sustainably sourced wood. They’re free from harmful chemicals and additives, making them a safer and more eco-conscious choice for your home.

5. They Look Beautiful

There’s just something special about the look of a wooden wick candle. The natural wood grain and wide flame make for a unique, rustic aesthetic that’s perfect for gifting or home décor.

Tips for Burning Wooden Wick Candles

• Always trim the wick to 1/8 inch before lighting.
• Let the wax pool reach the edges of the jar during the first burn.
• Keep away from drafts to maintain a steady flame.
